| Annotation |
"Very short literature is an elastic and amphibious animal that changes its habitat at the slightest provocation: hence its ability to approach other genres (short stories, poetry, essays, aphorisms) in an unlikely way (like the salamander and its metamorphoses) and build a short symphony that never ceases to be heard and amaze at each reading. According to this description, and under the premise of Baltasar Gracián, "Good things, when short, are twice as good," Rogelio Guedea anthologizes Mexican writers from the beginning of the 20th century to the current voices that are practicing the genre with full awareness. The census of authors ranges from the canonical names of Dufoo, Reyes, Arreola, Tario, Monterroso, to contemporaries such as Alberto Chimal, Cecilia Eudave, Édgar Omar Avilés, among others. His method for decanting that enormous production of brevities is the meticulous selection of a dozen texts per author. Selected authors: Genaro Estrada, Mariano Silva y Aceves, Carlos Díaz Dufoo, Alfonso Reyes, Julio Torri, Max Aub, Nelly Campobello, Francisco Tario, Juan José Arreola, Augusto Monterroso, Otto-Raúl González, Salvador Elizondo, René Avilés Fabila, Felipe Garrido, Guillermo Samperio, Óscar de la Borbolla, Mónica Lavín, Marcial Fernández, Jaime Muñoz Vargas, Cecilia Eudave, Alberto Chimal, Rogelio Guedea, Édgar Omar Avilés and Hugo López Araiza Bravo." -- Translation provided by NLS. -- Some violence and some descriptions of sex. Spanish language.

"La literatura brevísima es un animal elástico y anfibio que cambia de hábitat a la menor provocación: de ahí su capacidad de rozar otros géneros (cuento, poesía, ensayo, aforismo) de manera inverosímil (como la salamandra y sus metamorfosis) y construir una sinfonía en corto que no deja de sonar y asombrar a cada lectura. Siguiendo esta descripción, y bajo la premisa de Baltasar Gracián, «lo bueno, si breve...», Rogelio Guedea antologa a escritores mexicanos de comienzos del siglo xx hasta las voces actuales que ejercitan el género con plena conciencia. El censo de autores abarca desde los canónicos nombres de Dufoo, Reyes, Arreola, Tario, Monterroso, o contemporáneos como Alberto Chimal, Cecilia Eudave, Édgar Omar Avilés, entre otros. Su método para decantar esa enorme producción de brevedades es la selección minuciosa de una decena de textos por autor. Autores seleccionados: Genaro Estrada, Mariano Silva y Aceves, Carlos Díaz Dufoo, Alfonso Reyes, Julio Torri, Max Aub, Nelly Campobello, Francisco Tario, Juan José Arreola, Augusto Monterroso, Otto-Raúl González, Salvador Elizondo, René Avilés Fabila, Felipe Garrido, Guillermo Samperio, Óscar de la Borbolla, Mónica Lavín, Marcial Fernández, Jaime Muñoz Vargas, Cecilia Eudave, Alberto Chimal, Rogelio Guedea, Édgar Omar Avilés y Hugo López Araiza Bravo." -- Proporcionada por la editorial. -- Contiene algunas descripciones de violencia y de índole sexual.
