PARDO-FERNANDEZ, Rodrigo. Violence’s Fictions of Imanol Caneyada: A Reading of Hyperrealism. En-clav. pen [online]. 2020, vol.14, n.28, pp.140-158.  Epub Nov 12, 2020. ISSN 2594-1100.  https://doi.org/10.46530/ecdp.v0i28.375.

The writing of Imanol Caneyada (San Sebastián, 1968) recounts the many sharp edges of the world of drug trafficking. A Spanish writer based in Mexico, Caneyada develops a work that speaks in equal terms about a typical city in northern Mexico where acts of corruption take place, that of the inclement winter in Quebec. In both geographies the violence associated with drug trafficking is shaped as the narrative axis and its cultural framework. This paper, as a critical reading of two of his novels, framed within the criminal novel, shows the convergences in his narrative around a hyperrealistic construction that transcends geographical boundaries.

Keywords : Imanol Caneyada; narco-literature; crime novel.
