About the Journal

Following the footprints of the cronopio («We’re getting married and you’re taking me to Budapest, to a bridge where there’s snow and someone»—says Alina Reyes in «Lejana»), we are kindly inviting authors to join researchers interested in short fiction and send us essays of criticism. For us this category covers both Peninsular and Hispanic American works of fiction of limited length, written in Spanish, from the Middle Ages up to the present day. There is, no doubt, a great variety of genres and subgenres included (from exemplum, microfiction, and vignette to long short story, nouvelle or short novel) but in case of these literary forms very few critical approaches have dwelled on the perspective of size; we are interested, needless to say, in both established and experimental forms. A special section is dedicated to interviews, reviews and informative communications of common interest.
