«Cuentismos y espejos» is the short story collection by José Miguel Desuárez, published by Ediciones de Aquí in 2012 in paperback (132 pages, in Spanish).
A collection of stories marked by metafiction and literary homages, featuring a lipogrammatic story of over thirty pages written without the letter A and a monovocalic epilogue that uses only that vowel. It also includes four homages to authors such as Cortázar or Borges and to works like El Lazarillo de Tormes, in a play of stories within the story. The absence of the vowel conditions the theme and tone of the texts, which combine formal experimentation with emotion and passion.
It belongs to the Los Días Terrestres series (volume 17). The book received the Tiflos Prize for short stories, according to the back cover. Paperback binding.
Suitable for readers interested in short fiction with formal experimentation, Oulipian constraints, and homages to great names in literature.
