Abstract

Juan Carlos Gallegos, a minifiction specialist from Guadalajara, presents Diversos tipos de maldad, a work that encapsulates his evolution as a writer. Currently pursuing a doctorate in Humanities at the UAM, Gallegos channels his theoretical expertise into his literary craft. This book adds to his previous publications, such as La rubia despampanante y otras microhistorias (2014) and Monstruos de bolsillo (2018), showcasing his skill in exploring human malice in its many facets. With great precision, he crafts his stories with ingenuity and meticulous attention to detail. Diversos tipos de maldad firmly places itself within the Mexican tradition of minifiction, inviting readers to reflect on the nature of human cruelty, from corrupt politicians to symbolic crows.
