However, her posthumous Al volver la esquina (2004), the last of her five novels, is an indispensable example of the author's achievement as a psychological novelist. Yet ten years following its release, this book still remains widely overlooked. Aimed at bolstering the merit of Al volver la esquina as an essential component of Laforet's contributions as a psychological novelist, this article examines the protagonist Martin's identity search as developed through his extended self-reflection via images prompted by memory, the mirror, and cinema.

Greatly masked by Catholic themes such as charity, love and sacrifice—partially resulting from the author's own spiritual conversion in December 1951— the stories' social criticism is nevertheless not difficult to discern, though scholars have generally overlooked it. Between 1944 and 1954, Laforet published a total of 14 short stories; 10 were published as collections, the remaining four—"El infierno," "Recién casados," "El alivio," and "El secreto de la gata"—were published in the periodicals Ínsula (1944 & 1952), Destino (June 1953) and Bazar (March 1952) respectively. The following analysis will focus on six stories— "La muerta," "El veraneo," "Rosamunda," "Un matrimoni...

During this first meeting, the seven attending students not only established the name of Sigma Delta Pi, but also that of “Sociedad del Prado.” What Ms. Barnes could not imagine despite her charisma and leadership is that only 12 years later this local project would become a national organization that today has more than 620 chapters in 49 states. However, and unfortunately, with the tremendous growth of the Society, Ruth Barnes’ important role was virtually forgotten, and evidence shows that our founder also was unaware of the impressive expansion of the Society she created.
In the February 1947 issue of the journal Hispania, for example, Dr. Stuart M. Gross, past executive secretary-treasurer of Sigma Delta Pi, wrote a short, five-page article entitled "La Sociedad nacional Hispánica, Sigma Delta Pi" that proposed "dibujar los acontecimientos de su historia" of Sigma Delta Pi, but there was no mention of Ruth Barnes. It was not until T. Earle Hamilton’s book Sigma Delta Pi: A Brief History in 1995 when Ruth Barnes enjoyed an appropriate reference as the Society’s founder.
