The Underside of History: Expressions of Medellín's Sicario Culture in Fernando Vallejo's "La Virgen de los Sicarios"
Document
This thesis explores Fernando Vallejo's representation of Medellín's sicario culture in the 1990's in his novel La Virgen de los Sicarios. It situates the narrative in a historiographical discourse, dealing specifically with Vallejo's projection of the city, utilization of a polemical and semi-autobiographical narrator, and emphasis on language.
