Abstract

After the publication of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (Seth Grahame-Smith, 2009) a new literary movement appeared based on the rewriting of the classic novels with the inclusion of zombies in their storylines. In this regard, the first remake of a Hispanic classical novel was El Lazarillo Z. Matar zombis nunca fue pan comido. This ironic and humorous novel reviewed the original text, as well as Spanish literature and Spanish history. In this article, I focus on the remake of Lazarillo de Tormes to reflect, in the first place, on the fresh writing movement of the remake and its possibilities. Afterwards, I analyze the importance of these new novels in the contemporary literary scene and their potential to transform, sabotage, and deconstruct.
