La frontera mexicana entre crónica periodística y narrativa de ficción

The Mexican border between journalistic chronicle and fictional narrative. Journalistic chronicle as a literary reconstruction of facts or people invites us to pose certain questions, such as the whether this genre can be placed in between history and literature and what kind of a role testimony plays in its creation. I am here proposing an analysis of three novels written by Diego Enrique Osorno, Alejandro Hernández and Antonio Ortuño on the topic of the Northern and Southern Mexican border in order to suggest a connection between these two genres and highlight points of difference and similarity.
