New trends and ruptures in Dominican short stories in the sixties

Abstract

The axis of this article is the inclusions of themes and narrative techniques that three Dominican writers integrated into the narrative that was developed in the post-Trujillo era. A period of profound political and social changes in the Dominican Republic ir represented in the short stories without forgetting a painful retrospection of the dictatorial past. Miguel Alfonseca, René del Risco and Iván García Guerra are part of a generation of authors who revolutionized Dominican short stories and embodied the social commitment of the artists with their people.
