Un género atípico con realidades insólitas: los articuentos de Juan José Millás
An atypical genre and strange realities: the articuentos of Juan José Millás

Summary/Abstract: Abstract: The short stories of Juan José Millás, published in the volume Articuentos completos (2011), are considered atypical not only because of their mixed or hybrid genre, but also by reason of their unusual approaches, as they offer a break with the traditional way of seeing reality and discovering other dimensions of the human existence. The Spanish author's articuentos tell us about simple, everyday things with a few words. At the same time, despite this apparent sincerity, his stories, due to the great variety of intertextual references, fantastic elements and some humour and irony, and also to the many forms and unusual positions applied by the author, are able to reflect the complicated process of everyday human existence and to demonstrate the complexity of their conscience.
