Fernando Vallejo Books
October 24, 1942
Fernando Vallejo is a celebrated novelist, filmmaker, and essayist whose work delves into intensely personal themes. He writes in the first person, employing an autobiographical style that unearths complex aspects of his life, including adolescence, violence, and mortality. Though his narratives are deeply rooted in his native Colombia, particularly Medellín, Vallejo's prose is characterized by its unflinching directness and provocative exploration of the human condition. His distinctive voice offers a raw and introspective look at societal and personal struggles.
En Medellín, los asesinos contratados o sicarios son niños. La impunidad es la norma y la violencia se respira entre una multitud maldiciente de desempleados y mendigos, de ladrones y atracadores, vendedores ambulantes y fumadores de basuco. El narrador loco o lúcido y su amante, un adolescente asesino, trata de ponerle remedio por las malas a lo que no lo tiene
