Terenci Moix

He had a self-taught education. His first work, La torre de los vicios capitales (La torre dels vicis capitals, in catalan), was published in 1968. Many of his early works criticised the values of his time, especially the official morality of Francoism. In 1990, he wrote and published a children's book called, Los Grandes Mitos del Cine (English version as "The Greatest Stories of Hollywood Cinema"), which is illustrated by Willi Glasauer, and published by Círculo de Lectores. This children's book includes fun facts, trivia, and information accompanied by photos and Willi Glasauer's illustrations of the classic Hollywood films and stars such as Casablanca, Gone with the Wind, Cleopatra, and Tarzan the Ape Man.[1]

Other works explored camp aesthetics, an element of his work studied by Timothy M. McGovern. He wrote in several newspapers: Tele-Exprés, Tele-Estel, El Correo Catalán, Destino, Nuevos Fotogramas, Serra d'Or, and El País. He was openly homosexual, and participated in many TV gatherings. He died of lung emphysema, which is related to his use of tobacco.

In 1992 he won the Ramon Llull Novel Award for El sexe dels àngels.[2] In 1996 he became the first winner of the Fernando Lara Novel Award for his then-unpublished work El amargo don de la belleza.[3]

An annual literature prize, bearing his name, the Terenci Moix Fundación Arena de Narrativa Gay y Lésbica, has been instituted; won most recently by the Anglo-Spanish novelist Rafael Peñas Cruz for his coming-of-age work, Charlie.
