Literary Program
"Short forms"
Three generations of resilient storytellers and a heroic editor will join forces in this conversation to try to paint a current picture of the short form, unfairly and unjustifiably regarded as the black sheep of literature. What Borges would say in this case we can't know, but we will be able to hear the insights of Clara Obligado, Ismael Ramos and Eloy Tizón, writers who have dedicated their work to the story genre, and of editor Juan Casamayor. Not only will they talk to us about their most recent works, but also about the tradition of short stories, a veritable laboratory of formal and thematic experimentation (realist, fantasy, crime, political, etc.)
