This study will examine how and for what purpose six contemporary writers of short stories use marriage in their works. An analysis of the texts will show that, although different for each, marital union becomes a metaphor for dialogue and reveals the problems of communication that affect the relations between men and women, while at the smae time providing valuable insights into the style of each writer. The writers selected are: Siegfried Lenz (1926), Gabriele Whohmann (1932), Helha Schubert (1940), Julio R. Ribeyro (1919-1994), Mario Benedetti (1920) and Rosario Castellanos (1925-1974).

En este número se reúnen nueve artículos inéditos sobre aspectos del relato breve (cuento y miccorrelato) en la literatura española e hispanoamericana del último cuarto del siglo XX. Encabezan el volúmen tres colaboraciones, agrupadas juntas sea por ser de orientación esencialmente teórica e histórica, sea por presentar una visión de conjunto de un género en un país. Los seis artículos que siguen son comentarios a obras particulares. Los nueve trabajos son representativos al constituir un conjunto caracterizado por la variedad de enfoques y métodos de aproximación a obras de doce destacados escritores e escritoras actuales (sin contar a los que se citan de manera lateral), de España, Argentina, Perú, México y Venezuela.
