Figure 1: It´s a hard crisis. I used to visit the psychologist but now I must be satisfied by telling everything to a taxi driver.

I retake this interview with Lauro Zavala, published two years ago in Letras de Chile. Zavala is one of the most important specialists in sudden fiction (we call them "microrrelatos", the denomination Zavala prefers, but there are many other names). 
If you are interested in very short stories (I´m sure of it), you will enjoy this interview.
