    "title": "La descomposición del estado político y el surgimiento del estado narco en tres novelas mexicanas (1969-2008)",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Differing from the closed narrative of the whodunit, \ngénero negro\n fiction favors the open textuality of the hardboiled, where content and themes critically codify social and historical contexts. Given this frame of reference, this essay analyzes three representative detective novels of the last fifty years as works of ambiguity and irony that criticize and reinterpret Mexico’s changing society: Rafael Bernal’s \nEl complot mongol\n casts a cynical eye on the weaknesses of the so-called Mexican “miracle;” Paco Ignacio Taibo’s \nNo habrá final feliz\n questions police-directed violence against a rebellious populace whose repression exhibits the nation’s “revolutionary” mythology; and Élmer Mendoza’s \nBalas de plata\n encodes the patent crisis of an emergent narco state characterized by unheard-of violence, dubious morality, and social paranoia. In a concluding note, Edgar Allan Poe’s and Jorge Luis Borges’s short stories are presented as whodunit counter-examples that anticipate the open narrative\n \nof\n género negro\n.",
