Historia y ficción en la narrativa latinoamericana

This article examines Trilogía del siglo XX, by the Mexican writer Jorge Volpi (1968). The study centers its major purpose on the considerations of history and fiction and on the analyses derived from human experience, reality, time, place, space and the linguistic turn. Given this critical backdrop, it also aims to analyze the scope of those approaches by placing them on present Latin American narrative and especially on the Trilogía del siglo XX, a set of three novels, En busca de Klingsor (1999), No será la tierra (2003) and El fin de la locura (2006). This article is sustained by a cross-disciplinary method drawn from the social and human sciences and that analyzes critical orientations between history and the fictional locus to show that truth and fiction are indissoluble elements of reality
