| Description: | Hidden Heroes: Three Cases of the Mexican Noir Novel examines the novels of three writers who enriched Mexican crime fiction between 1976 and 2014. The first is Paco Ignacio Taibo II, considered by literary critics to be the founder and leading promoter of the noir subgenre in Mexico. The second author is Juan Hernández Luna, who incorporated fantastical elements into his work and revitalized Mexican noir. The last author is Gabriel Trujillo Munoz, who set his novels in the frontier north, but whose work cannot be simplistically classified as popular'narcoliterature'. The selected works are analyzed using Doležel's theory of fictional worlds in an attempt to explore what characterizes the chosen narrative worlds and at the same time to demonstrate that the characters of the''detectives''of the Mexican noir novel are united by the concept of hidden heroism. |
