Summary/Abstract: Microquixotes is an anthology of Hispanic short-short stories (published in 2005) that somehow interpret the theme of Don Quixote of Cervantes. The objective of the paper is to analyse some of the texts of the book, written by Argentinean authors, set the main lines of reinterpretation in the texts in question, and come to a conclusion about the nature of these postmodern versions of the novel.
