The themes established in "La nave de los locos" are ones which Rossi revisits in other works. Her latest novels include "Solitario de amor" (Solitaire of Love) (1989), "La última noche de Dostoievski" (Dostoyevsky's Last Night) (1992) and "El amor es una droga dura" (Love is a hard drug) (1999). All of these novels are formally less experimental than Nave. They deal with male protagonists who, like Equis, gradually explore their sexualities, discovering that they have to renounce traditional gender roles both in sexual behaviour and in the real world to find fulfilment. However, there is little political commentary in these novels.
