An important collection of aphorisms (greguerías) which are a landmark of innovative literary technique akin to that of Futurism. Ramón Gómez de la Serna introduced Spain to European avant-garde literature with this new genre, which Gonzalez-Gerth analyzes superbly in his lengthy and in-depth critical introduction.
"The book should be...savored bit by bit. The pleasure
from reading Ramón comes from the very geniality of his unique
vision of the world around him: he constantly surprises us into
seeing things in a different way."
