Serna published over 90 works in all literary genres. In 1933, he was invited to Buenos Aires. He stayed there during the Spanish Civil War and the following Franco regime. He died in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1963.Some sample Greguerias:El par de huevos que nos tomamos parece que son gemelos, y no son ni primos terceros.Translation:The pair of eggs we got look like identical twins, and they're not even third cousins. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
