La bien ganada fortuna que, muy tempranamente, alcanzó Cela como novelista eclipsó su faceta como escritor de relatos, un arte que sin embargo nunca dejó de cultivar. Más de una vez declaró su devoción por este género, del que decía que viene a ser «algo así como la piedra de toque del escritor en prosa». Otra cosa es que no siempre resulte fácil deslindar, dentro del amplísimo caudal de las piezas breves de Cela, cuáles admiten ser consideradas cuentos con propiedad. Este volumen ofrece una amplia y representativa selección de los textos que mejor se adecuan a esta etiqueta, así como de los que él mismo bautizó como «apuntes carpetovetónicos». Todos sumados conforman una abigarrada y portentosa galería de personajes, que Cela dibuja con su característica mezcla de humor, barbarie y piedad. Cela’s famous novels outshined his short stories, which he never stopped writing. He repeatedly declared his devotion to this literary genre, which he claimed was “something like the prose writer’s touchstone.” However, it is not always easy to define, within the vast array of Cela’s brief pieces, which ones can be properly considered short stories. This volume offers a wide selection of the texts that best fit this label, including those that he himself baptized as “carpetovetonic notes.” All of them make up a portentous gallery of characters, which Cela builds with his characteristic blend of humor, savagery, and piety.
