Ramón Gómez de la Serna y Puig (July 3, 1888, Madrid - January 13, 1963, Buenos Aires) was a Spanish writer, dramatist and avant-garde agitator. He was especially known for "Greguerías" - a short form of poetry that roughly corresponds to the one-liner in comedy. The Gregueria is especially able to grant a new and often humorous perspective.He strongly influenced surrealist film maker Luis Buñuel.

He was a partner of Carmen de Burgos

Gómez de la Serna published over 90 works in all literary genres. In 1933, he was invited to Buenos Aires. He stayed there during the Spanish Civil War and the following Franco regime and died there.

Si es lo primero que lees de Gómez de la Serna, no lo recomiendo. Una antología de fragmentos para los «muy cafeteros» de Madrid y lo madrileño.

Aunque Gómez de la Serna es un genio. Aquí va una muestra:

A posh catholic monarchist produces a series of works praising Madrid, most of which are published under military dictatorship. The result is bland, unoriginal, formless, drivel. Should one be surprised?

El tema de este libro me interesa. Es una descripción de Madrid. Desafortunadamente, no entendía bien el libro a causa de no saber muchas de las palabras, aunque enseñé español por nueve años. Al principio, usaba mi diccionario mucho, pero fue difícil leer cuando me interrumpí al menos de una vez por frase para buscar una palabra en el diccionario.
