Annotation -
In this course on Hispanic literature, we will read short stories by Spanish-speaking writers to explore the richness of their voices, forms, and themes in this genre. The course combines close textual analysis with writing exercises inspired by the stories, such as parodies, shifts in perspective, and experiments with narrative voice. Additionally, we will examine the importance of the short story as a literary form, the creative conditions in which it arises, and the various interpretations that writers offer of this creative process. Studying these short pieces will teach us to both analyze and produce short stories in Spanish.
