Amusing look at provincial Brazilians and maintains as well a suspenseful narrative concerning a young boy's mysterious disappearance.

Latin America has a rich literary tradition that is receiving growing amounts of attention. The body of Latin American mystery writing is especially vast and diverse. Because it is part of Latin American popular culture, it also reflects many of the social and cultural concerns of that region. This reference provides an overview of mystery fiction of Latin America. While many of the authors profiled have received critical attention, others have been relatively neglected. Included are alphabetically arranged entries on 54 writers, most of whom are from Argentina, Mexico, and Cuba. Every effort has been made to include balanced coverage of the few female mystery writers. Each entry is written by an expert contributor and includes a brief biography, a critical discussion of the writer's works, and primary and secondary bibliographies. The volume closes with a general bibliography of anthologies and criticism.

Crime fiction written by women in Spain and Latin America since the late 1980s has been successful in shifting attention to crimes often overlooked by their male counterparts, such as rape and sexual battery, domestic violence, child pornography, pederasty, and incest. In the twenty-first century, social, economic, and political issues, including institutional corruption, class inequality, criminalized oppression of immigrant women, crass capitalist market forces, and mediatized political and religious bodies, have at their core a gendered dimension. The conventions of the original noir, or novela negra, genre have evolved, such that some women authors challenge the noir formulas by foregrounding gender concerns while others imagine new models of crime fiction that depart drastically from the old paradigms. This volume, highlighting such evolution in the crime fiction genre, will be of interest to students, teachers, and scholars of crime fiction in Latin America and Spain, to those interested in crime fiction by women, and to readers familiar with the sub-genres of crime fiction, which include noir, the thriller, the police procedural, and the “cozy” novel.

Detective fiction, as established in Anglo-American traditions, posed a formula for portraying crime and justice. Since its popularity in the 19th century, Latin America and Chicano authors have developed their own forms of detective fiction to portray the realistic conditions of their respective cities. The dissertation employs an interdisciplinary framework that engages with Hemispheric studies, literature studies, and cultural geography to explore the form and political commitment that Latin American and Latino authors use to provide counter-narratives of the city and their communities. Using the framework of hemispheric studies, I bridge Chicano/a and Latin American studies to explore detective novels in in Santiago, Chile, Mexico City, Mexicali, and Albuquerque, New Mexico. I explore how social and geopolitical spaces inform the crimes and characterization of the detective in these respective spaces. Chapter one and two explores vigilante detectives and their nostalgic memory of democracy in their respective cities. Chapter three and four transitions to the U.S.-Mexico border where Mexican and Chicano detectives define crime in terms of how their border cities' socio-economic conditions facilitate the production of crime vis-a-vis the trafficking of women and drugs. Lastly, Chapter five focuses on Chicano/a detectives in Albuquerque to examine how city politics disenfranchise Chicano/a communities in the city. My dissertation concludes with reflections on the development of detective fiction by Latin American and Chicana/o authors. I reflect on how these authors shape a genre of the "Americas" through a political commitment against state corruption and marginalization of dominant cultures.

Rebecca Biron breaks new ground in this study of masculinity, violence, and the strategic construction of collective political identities in twentieth-century Latin American fiction. By engaging current sociological, psychoanalytic, and feminist theories, Murder and Masculinity analyzes the cliche of proving virility through violence against women. Biron develops her argument through close readings of five works: Jorge Luis Borges's "La intrusa," Armonia Somer's "El despojo," Clarice Lispector's A Maca no Escuro, Manuel Puig's The Buenos Aires Affair, and Reinaldo Arenas's El Asalto. Although men murdering women is often interpreted as nothing more than machista misogyny, Biron argues that the five narratives addressed in this book show that healed masculinities are essential to the achievement of cultural identity and political autonomy in Latin America. The introduction to this study deftly situates Biron's work in relation to previous theoretical arguments on the social and political dimensions of Latin American writing. The five subsequent chapters offer superb analyses of the individual texts. Like their male protagonists who experiment with the psychological and legal extremes of gender division, these narratives risk nonconformity to the laws of genre in their quest for liberation from violent social and literary conventions. In combining elements of detective stories, crime narratives, psychological case studies, and magical or grotesque realism, they offer metafictional commentary on a network of discourses that confuses images of masculinity, national identity, and political autonomy in postcolonial Latin America.

This book examines how Latin American detective stories portray individualism and the state through the figures of the private eye and the police. Fabricio Tocco argues that these portrayals constitute a far more radical critique than the one developed by the Anglo-American canon, culminating in a transnational “poetics of failure” rooted in dissatisfaction with the neoliberal state.
