Los mundos secretos minificción, fantasía y el poder de lo inexistente en “El libro de los nombres” de Enrique Servín.

Abstract

This article examines Enrique Servín's "The Book of Names," proposing that this section of the work, structured as an apocryphal encyclopedic catalog, is a textual laboratory for fantastical microfiction. From a theoretical perspective, the selected corpus integrates categories such as generic hybridity, intertextuality, and plausible falsehood, highlighting in turn the poetics of the nonexistent and irony as key figures, functioning from their textual and cognitive effects. Finally, Servín's work draws on names and taxonomy as narrative engines of possible worlds, literaryizing extra-literary genres and employing metonymy. The work engages with the fantastic encyclopedia and positions itself as a contribution to the experimental narratives of the 21st century.
