Objetos insólitos y espejos fantásticos en la ficción y estética de Ramón Gómez de la Serna

This study aims to demonstrate that unusual objects constitute an undeniable part of Ramón Gómez de la Serna’s aesthetics. The portrayal of these objects in works that diverge from mimetic reality has largely gone unnoticed in the critical analysis of the author’s oeuvre. Therefore, we find it essential to underscore their importance, considering more prominent theories that address the concept of the unusual. Additionally, while other authors resort to the fantastic mirror to incorporate it into their work, Gómez de la Serna includes it with great creativity and ingenuity. This approach has been an integral part of his experiences and theoretical practice from the beginning of his literary career.
