Alejandro Córdoba Sosa

Alejandro Córdoba Sosa (Berisso, Buenos Aires province, 1971) is an Argentine writer.

As a story teller he participated in several anthologies, among which stands out the compilation published by the Argentina Society of Writers (SADE) in 2000, in which Cordoba Sosa was included as a winner of the National Short Story Competition SADE 2000 for his story Robar la nada (Steal the void).

In 2007, under the pen name 'Alejandro Zenteno Lobo', he published Doscientos y un cuentos en miniatura (Two hundred and one miniature tales) a book of flash fiction none of which goes beyond the limit of seventy words. The book was illustrated by the artist Meli Valdés Sozzani. One of the flash fictions included in this book is thought to be the shortest horror story in Spanish. This story has just 28 letters in only seven words.[1] The story reads, in its entirety:

Frente a él, el espejo estaba vacio.

(In front of him the mirror was empty.)

In 2011, his work is included in the anthology Poetas y Narradores Contemporáneos 2011 (Contemporary Poets and Storytellers 2011), published by Editorial de los Cuatro Vientos.

In April 2013, a personal selection of his stories is published under the name El enigma de O. (The enigma of O.). The book was presented at the 39th International Book Fair of Buenos Aires.

In 2014, he published his second personal anthology, the book of short stories El destino de la especie (The fate of the species), which is presented at the 40th Buenos Aires International Book Fair.

In 2015, his flash fiction book Doscientos y un cuentos en miniatura was translated into English and published as Two hundred and one miniature tales.

gollark: Firefox's nice thing where you can fuzzy-search open tabs in the omnibar, and the ability to write extensions which interact with tabs, and ctrl+click technology, would probably all be harder if it had to do a ton of IPC calls for everything.

gollark: Shipping important functionality via patches means it's really hard to get useful precompiled things in distro repos, and you can't easily stick things in separate programs without compromises.
gollark: I think the tabs thing is an example of not integrating things enough, though.
