Abstract

In august 1931, Lino Novás Calvo arrives to Spain from Cuba as a correspondent of Havana’s magazine Orbe. True to the editorial purposes that the publication had marked, he tries to capture the hunch of society and the Spanish politics to bring the reality of the country to Cuban readers. This article covers the key of chronic journalism, reportage and interviews conducted by Novás Calvo for the magazine, granting special importance to his work as an interviewer of some of the key Spanish figures, men and women of the moment. In order to do this, the idea of literary journalism as a journalistic macro genre is conceived, which is characterized by the hybridization of journalism and literature.

Keywords:
