The new Chilean narrative's noir genre, exemplified in the work of Ramón Díaz Eterovic, is an allusive and tangential exposé of recent national history. Implicit in the detective stories of this genre are a critical approach and an attempt at reconstruction of the political and social conflicts of dictatorial and postdictatorial Chile through a criminological narrative. Situated between the authoritarianism of the dictatorial regime and the ambiguities of the transition, the noir genre enables engagement with the subject of memory as a possible tool for the strengthening of civil society
