This paper examines the common traits of the "new fiction" being written in Central America since the early 1970s. By examining three novels of Roque Dalton, Sergio Ramirez, and Marcos Carias, respectively, it seeks to explore how and why this fiction portrays the societies and political crises of the region in a very original way. This phenomenon will be placed in the context of the political role that Central American writers have played in the history of the region
