RUIZ ULLOA, Geaninni. Fragments from unofficial history: Analysis of two Julieta Pinto´s short story collection. Káñina [online]. 2016, vol.40, n.2, pp.73-81. ISSN 2215-2636.

This article addresses the narrative of Julieta Pinto in the collection of short stories Marginados (1970) and A la vuelta de la esquina (1975). These collections go back to the realistism aesthetics from previous decades; nevertheless, the author proposes a new way to explore Costa Rican reality through the language and the discourse of verosimilitude. Both books suggest an alternative version of history -a non-official one - in where anonymous men, women and children fight for the only thing they own: their life.

Keywords : realism; Julieta Pinto; verosimilitude; tale..
