Escritor autodidacta que aprendi a leer de o das, que nunca concluy la primaria, Juan Jos Arreola fue un autor de largo aliento, aunque su narrativa sea medida y lac nica. Una obra fundamental que, junto con la de Rulfo, cambi el curso de nuestras letras. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Mexican short story writer, novelist, essayist, nonfiction writer, and playwright. Hailed as Mexico's premier experimental short story writer of the twentieth century, Arreola is best known for his allegorical tales that explore the nature of human existence in a haphazard, dreamlike, and sometimes insane world. Arreola's short fiction has been compared to that of Franz Kafka and Albert Camus. Although he is little known outside his native Mexico, Arreola has served as literary inspiration for a legion of Mexican writers who have sought to transform their country's realistic literary tradition by introducing elements of magical realism, satire, and allegory.
