About Ramón Gómez de la Serna

  • Ramón Gómez de la Serna y Puig (3 July 1888 in Madrid – 13 January 1963 in Buenos Aires) was a Spanish writer, dramatist and avant-garde agitator.
  • He strongly influenced surrealist film maker Luis Buñuel. Ramón Gómez de la Serna 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.
  • 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 Spanish State and died there. Some sample Greguerias: El par de huevos que nos tomamos parece que son gemelos, y no son ni primos terceros. [The couple of eggs we eat look like identical twins, and they're not even third cousins.] El pavo real es un mito jubilado. [The peacock is a retired myth.] Las puertas se enfadan con el viento. [Doors get angry with the wind.]
