| description | Una novela criminal by Jorge Volpi (2018) is one of the most famous and emblematic non fiction novels of last decade. Using no fiction criticism (Bessière, Ruffel), we will study how the Mexican writer, in the tradition of Truman Capote’s New Literary Journalism, reopens the judicial archive about such a controversial case as Florence Cassez-Israel Vallarta’s, both charged with kidnapping and accused of being part of the criminal band The Zodiac. His very lucid review of the file uses the concept of post-truth (Zenetti) to highlight the erratic relation concerning the facts on which the accusation is based. Beyond this particular case, we will analyze epistemological questions concerning the way in which certain political discourses today create and deliver truth. |
