Angelote, amor mío is a short story by Ecuadorian writer Javier Vásconez, published in 1982 in the collection Ciudad lejana.[1] It is the author's best-known story,[2] and has been considered a classic of Ecuadorian literature.[3] The plot takes place in the town of Jacinto, surrounding an upper class homosexual man belonging to a conservative Quito family, and is narrated through the interior monologue of his lover Julián, who recalls the life of the deceased and criticizes the hypocrisy of the society of the time using metaphors and religious symbols.[4]
The work follows a trend in 20th-century Ecuadorian literature of portraying homosexual characters in dark tragedies.[1] It also marked a shift in the literary representation of homosexuality in Ecuador by openly depicting the characters' relationship. Its publication was controversial at the time as a result.[5]
