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.

Character 1: "You must learn to read and to write because if not you´ll never be able to sign mortgages, precarious contract, release documents...

Character 2: Yes, but besides that I want to learn as soon as possible because I wanna be a poet.

Antonio Fraguas de Pablo (Forges), born in Madrid in 1942, is one of the best Spanish cartoonists. He is the inventor of Spanish neologisms as "gensanta, stupendo, bocata, firulillo, esborcio...", based in colloquial lenguage.

These are some of those opiniones. I hope you enjoy them.

Nouvelle courte de Dominique Vernay Juillet: "Lencería fina"

Née en France, mais vivant en Espagne depuis de nombreuses années, Dominique Vernay Juillet découvre bien vite le plaisir de pouvoir jouer avec les mots de la langue de Molière et de celle de Cervantes. Dans la nouvelle courte "Lencería fina" "Lingerie fine" elle reprend une idée qui lui est chère, à savoir que la phrase "je le/la connais comme si je l'avais fait/e" ne repose que sur une illusion. Le regard que nous portons sur les autres est à tel point faussé par tant d'idées préconçues, qu'il nous est impossible de nous rendre à l'évidence que les choses ne sont pas forcément comme nous le croyions et cela... même avec, sous les yeux, la preuve du délit.
