Abstract
BASTIDAS ZAMBRANO, Carlos. Crime Fiction, Comic Illusion, and Narrative Theatricality in Osvaldo Soriano's Triste, solitario y final. Lit. teor. hist. crit. [online]. 2015, vol.17, n.1, pp.245-262. ISSN 0123-5931. https://doi.org/10.15446/lthc.v17n1.48695.
The article examines Argentinean crime fiction from the 1970s, focusing specifically on the study of the narrative peculiarities and the analysis of the crime fiction genre in Osvaldo Soriano's novel Triste, solitario y final. The study approaches Soriano's novel from the perspective of the appropriation and rewriting of the formulas and conventions of hard-boiled fiction and examines the way in which the genre becomes a scenario for illusion, theatricality, and literary self-reference in this novel.
Keywords : Osvaldo Soriano; crime fiction; popular literature; mass culture; hard-boiled; hyperfiction.
