Sumario:This article analyses of one of the few titles by Gustavo Martín Garzo corresponding to the microfiction genre: <em>Todas las madres del mundo </em>(previously published as <em>Pequeño manual de las madres del mundo</em>). Critics have paid little attention to this book, probably because its author is identified with the writing of novels, genre to which its most celebrates titles belong. However, as we try to demonstrate in the following pages, <em>Todas las madres del mundo </em>addresses a recurring theme in all Martín Garzo’s work: motherhood. For doing so, the author uses a brief, nodal writing, in which the concept of ‘book’ does not work as a simple compilation of stories or an editorial convention, but rather constitutes a pattern of relational and topological reading. The result is a thematic cycle of short narrative pieces, similar to a catalog or a bestiary, which is an ideal option to deal with the complexity of motherhood from unusual points of view –sometimes weird or dark, but with a hue of humour.
