This article examines the novel 35 muertos (2012) through a neo-picaresque narrative that portrays Colombia's violence from 1965 to 1999 across 82 vignettes. With a carnivalesque and colloquial tone, the work blends death, sex, and music to recount stories of victims, betrayal, and corruption. Its neutral stance and use of humor to mitigate brutality create an anesthetizing effect that amplifies the impact of the depicted violent events
