    Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

    Abstract

    In this final chapter, Sánchez Prado seeks to relocate Chávez Castañeda as a writer whose travails with literary forms are essential to understand the impulse and relevance of the Crack group in the reconfiguration of Mexican fiction at the turn of the twenty-first century, and focuses on two novels: El día del hurón (1997) and La conspiración idiota (2003). Sánchez Prado concludes that Chávez Castañeda’s fiction is an attempt at reconfiguring the very structure of literary narration in Mexico.
