En los pocos libros de cuentos que escribió, y que caben en un pequeño rincón de la biblioteca de sus lectores incondicionales, recogió y supo expresar - siempre en tercera persona y con un lenguaje muy depurado, transido de sensibilidad poética y con un sentido del ritmo y del suspense tan admirable como envidiable - las experiencias de su corta vida, los recuerdos de su infancia, todo lo que “sucedía, vibraba, se agitaba o moría a su alrededor”.
