Short-short story, aphorism and greguería

Abstract

Ramón Gómez de la Serna cultivated several minifictional genres, among them the short-short story and the greguería, the latter of his own invention. Often, these genres have been confused with each other or with other similar forms of literary creation, so it is necessary to clarify the panorama and, based on the theory of microfiction, propose a new textual classification that facilitates to continue delving into the study of the work of the writer from Madrid.
