Abstract

The novella is a subgenre that has not found in Spanish language the traditional development that has enjoyed the classification that surpasses it by extension; that is, the novel. In the case of the Panamanian writer Rose Marie Tapia, the novella is the one that stands out in the majority of her stories; her deliveries reflect the brevity required by the subgenre she presents. This essay approaches two of her works with special emphasis on a text that educates through a prose that renews itself; novellas that become discursive instruments that act as transmitting agents of an idea, a concept, a purpose, and in which the shortness of the writing accentuates the magnitude of the stories.
