Abstract

This paper aims at studying a new type of novels characterized by the simultaneous presence of the meta-fiction and the black genre. Such novels can be read as the history of a crime, or as narration of literature itself, of the creative process of configuration of a fictional world. In order to demonstrate what could be considered the emergence of a new trend in Latin-American literature, three novels, by Darío Jaramillo Agudelo and Nahum Montt, will be analyzed.
