Summary:In order to locate Petits Chaperons de José Luis Zárate in the debate about the genre relations between microfiction and short story, this paper features and discusses Zárate's work at three levels. Firstly, the interlinguistic and intermedial status that presides over its production and publishing. Secondly, we examine on the intertextual field the impact of the microfictional series onto the narrative syntagmatics and the diegetic unity of the short story, particularly changes undertaken by time within every microfiction (compressed into a “narrative without narrativity”) and within the overall set as well (no chrono-logics). Thirdly, we look into the operations of a specific intertextual link, called transfictionality, located in the diegetic contents where the connection between microfiction and short story is studied within the frame of the fictional and thematic unity of the microfictional series.
