This compilation brings together thirteen women who have taken up the pen, or the key, to put their criminal stories on the table and reveal the exploration of the genre that female writers have been doing, in an increasingly broad and diverse manner. in Chile.
The compiler of this set points out that this exhibition “does not have an anthological nature nor does it pretend to be an exhaustive compilation of Chilean authors who have created police or criminal texts,” but rather it is a tip of the iceberg, or “a first “photographs the state of criminal narrative written by Chilean authors.”
