''Crónicas del Ángel Gris'' (Chronicles of the Grey Angel) is a book recopilation and expansion of a series of literary writings (tales and essays, mostly) from the popular intellectual and writer ''Creator/AlejandroDolina'', initially published in the magazine Magazine/HumorRegistrado. After the book was published, it was revisited and expanded in 1996; then, new stories in their SharedUniverse were published in another three books (Literature/ElLibroDelFantasma, Literature/BarDelInfierno and Literature/CartasMarcadas).

* ActOfTrueLove: played with several times. Specially on ''Balada de la Primera Novia''; the Hombres Sensibles tend to act as heroes without the will or consent of their beloved girls.
* AffablyEvil: the Amigos del Olvido, whom forgot the misdeads they do and always have an innocent look.
* AllGuysWantSororityWomen: Sort of. One of the prime requisites that the men on the tales are after to is beauty; and beauty is often given by big breasts and youth (at least in this tales). But in Argentina there is no such thing as a cheerleader (aculturated bilingual schools aside), so the trope does not perfectly fit.
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: At least, to the Hombres Sensibles. They seem to think that every ''real love'' must be platonic or elusive enough. Most stories are about unrequited love.
* AlphaBitch: Several, most notoriously María, the woman on which the narrator of El Caminante falls in love, whom delights on the power she posses on men.
* AttractivenessIsolation: La Mujer Demasiado Hermosa (the Too Beautiful Woman).

!!'''This work provides examples of:'''
*TheAce: in ''"Apuntes del fútbol en Flores"'', one casual football player in a park becames the star for his team, although nobody knew him before and no one see him again.
*AerithAndBob: The main characters of the neighbourhood have normal and even mundane or dull [[note]]Julio C. Del Prete sounds awful in Argentina[[/note]] Spanish names, like Manuel, Luis, Jorge, and such, but the Walker has a very strange name: Tamas Dorkas. And the Hombres Sensibles have strange or exotic last names, like Mandeb, Allen or Salzman. This could be attributed to the fact that, although being ordinary men, they search and hope for the supernatural to occur, and they are an odd group.
**Although not exactly common, those last names could be easily explained and even found in Buenos Aires: Mandeb is clearly arab, a great community in Argentina (specially in the North), Allen sounds French (and although not the most numerous, there was some French immigration to Argentina), and Salzman is a jew name, a very ''very'' large community in Buenos Aires.
*AffectionateParody: One of the stories take the same themes than ''ElOtro'', from Creator/JorgeLuisBorges
*AuthorAvatar: Manuel Mandeb. But also the Narrator in ''"El Caminante"'' arch.
*{{Curse}}: Tamas Dorkas, el Caminante (the Walker) is cursed for his stupidity by a witch, that also is the Devil, and the love of his life. He must walk continuously until find five impossible objects to be able to stop.
*CurseEscapeClause: Same as above.
*TheCasanova: Jorge Allen had 23 girlfriends to the count. Almost all of them drop him.
*TheFirstCutIsTheDeepest: Jorge Allen, as said before, had 23 girlfriends, but he ever searchs for the first one (one being the same at different years). ''"Balada de la primera novia"'' (Ballade of the First Girlfriend) cyrcles around this trope.
*HollywoodAtheist: Sort of with the ''"Refutadores de Leyendas"''. They are more a group of mid-to-high class {{Jerkass}}es than anything else, but they also fit this trope.
*InvisibleToNormals: The Grey Angel, because he only can be seen by people who want to believe in the supernatural.
*Jerkass: many, many of them. Specially the Refutadores, but also Mandeb and his crew, and the dirty storyteller Letrina.
*JerkassWithAHeartOfGold: The "Hombres Sensibles" (Sensitive man, not to be confused with {{Camp}})
*LowFantasy: One of the best examples of the Todorov's concept of Fantasy genre, in opposition to Marvelous or Strange. There are hints that supernatural things occur in Flores, but there are plausible rational explanations to almost all of them.
