Two poets that are a must to read: Gómez de la Serna and Fernández Molina.

The editor of Libros del Innombrable rescues and promotes this posthumous book: "Ramón Gómez de la Serna" by Antonio Fernández Molina.

The admired poet and editor of Libros del Innombrable, Raúl Herrero (Zaragoza, 1973), has rescued that blue folder that the great Antonio Fernández Molina (Alcázar de San Juan, Ciudad Real, 1927-Zaragoza, 2005) kept on the great author and father of the avant-garde, Ramón Gómez de la Serna (Madrid, 1888-Buenos Aires, 1963): the poet who never wrote verses although he collected them, so to speak. This posthumous book by Fernández Molina is a treasure, one can well agree with him: "The great poet who, without writing verses, was Gómez de la Serna, is in this occasion as in the best of his moments" and this is a marvelous one.

This simple volume, with the title “Ramón Gómez de la Serna” by Antonio Fernández Molina, with edition, prologue, and notes by Raúl Herrero, of barely 120 pages, is an excellent account. The book also includes four articles by Andrés Rubio on Gómez de la Serna, which is the epilogue, as well as the origin of the cited texts and the peculiar notes, which are very interesting for what they reveal. Illustrated with photographs of book covers and drawings by Ramón and handwritten texts by Antonio.
