Short stories originally written in Spanish. Some of these authors have written novels and I have reviewed some of them, too. I note them as needed. I also wrote an article for the Quarterly Conversation that covered several of these authors. I have listed the article several times. If you want to get a sense for what interests me that is a good start.

An excellent resource about short story writers from Spain is Miguel Ángel Muñoz’s La familia del aire: Entrevistas con cuentistas españoles (The Family of the Air: Interviews with Spanish Short Story Writer
