Abstract

This article studies the relationship of José Camerino's short story "El pícaro amante" with Golden Age Spanish comedia. After a careful analysis of Camerino's text, it concludes that in "El pícaro amante" many explicit theatrical practices are not only present, but that these techniques play a most important role: the pícaro characters use them in order to deceive their victim. In the author's view, this use implies a criticism of a successful popular genre, i.e., the comedia, by another popular genre, i.e., the short story, that is at the same time a competitor for the comedia's popular success and a debtor of theatrical techniques.
