Queer Noir Hispánico book cover

The objective of this book is to recognize the literary corpus of queer hardboiled novels in Spain and Latin America, which continues to be marginalized and ignored. Queer Noir explores the manner in which homosexuality is seen across countries and inside a specific country. The methodology for this project is to study the fusion of hardboiled with other genres, analyze the images of queer detectives, murderers, and victims in relation to major contemporary problems in the Hispanic world and explore how it affects the Hispanic homosexual and the global Latin gay population.

Noir Boricua: La novela negra de Puerto Rico. San Juan, Puerto Rico: Isla Negra Editores, 2016.

Noir Boricua book cover

This book studies the proliferation of hardboiled ficition in Puerto Rico. From the literary aspect, it explores the representations of the black detective, female detective, gay detective and novels that carry crime as constant variable, but lack the tradicional image of the detective. Furthermore, the book explores the contemporary social issues that the island faces, such as women and children trafficking, discrimination, violence, corruption, inmigration, relationship with the United States, drug trafficking, poverty, and globalization, among others.

Negrótico. Madrid: Pliegos, 2015.

Negrótico book coverThis new book focuses on the convergence of hardboiled (novela negra in Spanish) and Gothic literature. In these texts, terror, horror, fear and crime surface as constant aesthetical components of the narrative. Especially in contemporary times, hardboiled and Gothic novels merge homogeneously to transform themselves in “novela negrótica.” This fusion employs the elements inherent to each genre—detective, criminal, crime (in hardboiled) and castles, vampires, ghosts, zombies, labyrinths (in the Gothic novel). At the same time, these two distinct tendencies share similar themes—suspense, notions of good and evil, murderers, terror, violence, danger, victims, supernatural characters, marginality, revenge, decadent spaces, ruins, and double identities—and, in the same text, they emphasize their postmodern union in order to voice the terrors present in contemporary society. In other words, the generic dissolution of hardboiled and Gothic coagulates once more in postmodern negrótico. This mutation (1) accentuates the subterraneous areas that exist behind daily experiences that preoccupied individuals and society in general, (2) questions fears, believes and prejudices that affect the social body, (3) presents a somber aesthetics as a result of an anxious and restless collective experience, (4) awakes morbidity, and (5) eliminates the fear of the “culture of death.”

Gemidos y explosiones apocalípticas poshumanas: la novela negra y de ciencia ficción hispana del siglo XXI. Madrid: Pliegos, 2013. Print.

Gemidos y explosiones apocalípticas poshumanas: la novela negra y de ciencia ficción hispana del siglo XXI book coverEs un estudio comparativo de la novela negra y de la ciencia ficción hispana por medio de dos conceptos: poshumanismo y apocalipsis. Además de investigar en detalle los aspectos formales de cada género, se inquiere sobre el virulento desorden social —la irracionalidad, la violencia, las aspiraciones materiales desmedidas y el desprecio a la vida humana— el cual termina en el crimen desenfrenado, dejando de lado todo código ético y la búsqueda de un progreso colectivo. Se explora el sentido catastrófico a través del espacio citadino en ruinas, la muerte a borbotones, las prácticas espirituales alternativas y la desesperanza de un futuro mejor que carcome al individuo y lo hace pensar en la destrucción de su propia existencia. En estos géneros populares, el poshumanismo apocalíptico se impregna de una ardua crítica social para manifestar el desencanto proveniente de fallidas revoluciones, dictaduras militares y de la globalización. Se exhibe la dependencia tecnológica, la desmitificación de la superioridad y el frágil dominio del individuo dentro de la larga evolución y transformación de la especie.

Cadáveres en el armario: el policial palimpséstico en la literatura argentina contemporánea. Buenos Aires: Teseo, 2011. Print.

Cadáveres en el armario: el policial palimpséstico en la literatura argentina contemporánea book coverThis book was selected among the top one-hundred Argentine books to promote Argentinian publications in the rest of the world. Only two books from Teseo were chosen to be sponsored overseas. The selection was conducted by the City of Buenos Aires, Book Foundation, Argentine Book Association, Argentine Association of Publications, and Ministry of Economics. Furthermore, Teseo Press was selected as one of three finalist for the International Excellence Award under the category "Academic and Professional Publisher Award", at the London Book Fair in April 2016. Este libro indaga el auge de la novela negra y del cine negro inspirado en hechos reales desde 1994 hasta el presente. El resurgimiento del policial coincide con el gobierno de Carlos Saúl Menem y las medidas de ajuste estructural que se realizan para introducir a la Argentina en una economía globalizada. La pobreza, la inseguridad y la violencia predominan en la sociedad argentina y muchas novelas detectivescas, basadas en asesinatos de la vida real, aparecen en 1994. Consiguientemente, el texto explora la historia de cada asesinato, partiendo de su nota periodística, e investiga las sucesivas transformaciones en cuentos, novelas, una serie de televisión y/o un film. Mientras que los reportes de los diarios sobre los homicidios siguen las tendencias de la prensa sensacionalista, los escritores y directores de cine y televisión transforman los sucesos, siguiendo o subvirtiendo las características del policial clásico o de la novela negra. Estas recreaciones de los asesinatos tienen la intención de denunciar o criticar aspectos específicos de la sociedad argentina: violencia doméstica, discriminación, estigmatización y corrupción, entre otros.
