This chapter examines three novels—Qliphoth and La profundidad de la piel (The Depth of the Skin) by Pedro A. Palou and After Winter by Guadalupe Nettel—through the lens of Zygmunt Bauman’s notion of “liquid modernity” and Eva Illouz’s sociological approach to love in the neoliberal era. Love, a recurring theme in literature, remains one of the most challenging to write about, and in the face of today’s romantic crisis, love has become an even greater challenge. Palou’s novels propose a “philosophy of love” as an aesthetic quest and as an implied response to the failures of love, while Nettel’s novel underscores the solipsistic nature of contemporary societies, leading to the impossibility of romantic love.
