MUNOZ COVARRUBIAS, Pablo. Some Animals and Some Stories by José de la Colina. Revista Col. San Luis [online]. 2022, vol.12, n.23, 00031.  Epub 27-Maio-2024. ISSN 2007-8846.  https://doi.org/10.21696/rcsl122320221430.

José de la Colina is among the writers that mastered the craft of the short story in México during the Twentieth Century. He was widely considered by his peers as one of the very best prose writers of his generation. Even though he was acknowledged, few critics have studied his texts considering their technical and symbolic traits. To correct this the following article focuses on several of his pieces, chiefly in those in which animals become significant elements of the plot. The hypothesis suggests there is a bond between form and meaning in his stories; animals appear to be not only symbolics presences, but also function in the construction.

Palavras-chave : José de la Colina; short story; Mexican Literature; animal; symbol.
