Lo leo muy negro

Why are we so fascinated by crime, what does it say about us as individuals and as a society? What ways has the black genre sought to represent the darkest facet of the human being, placing at our height a disturbing mirror in front of which we look away, but which at the same time inevitably attracts us? I read it very black is an essay on fiction, crime and life that addresses the black genre from multiple angles: its pages explore from historical aspects to the profile of classical authors and the keys to the work of some of the most prominent contemporary authors, without forget how black crime novels and essays dialogue with audiovisual productions of yesterday and today. Ultimately, this book draws on the crime literature to speak to the dark side of all of us.
