Ramón Gómez de la Serna (1888-1963) was a Spanish writer, dramatist and avant-garde agitator. He influenced Luis Buñuel to a considerable extent.
Ramón Gómez de la Serna was especially known for “Greguerías” – a short form of poetry that roughly corresponds to the one-liner in comedy. The Gregueria is especially able to grant a new and often humorous perspective. Serna published over 90 works in all literary genres. In 1933, he was invited to Buenos Aires. He stayed there during the Spanish Civil War and the following Franco regime. He died in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1963.
