«La Virgen de los Sicarios» is the novel by Fernando Vallejo, published by Espanol Santillana Universidad de Salamanca in paperback (144 pages).
The narrator, a writer and grammarian who returns to Medellín after a long exile, traverses the city in the company of Alexis, a teenage hitman. Through that gaze, the violence unleashed during the era of Pablo Escobar's cartel and the social decay of a country are portrayed, with caustic humor and a prose that oscillates between rage and beauty.
This Spanish-language edition, the second, was published in 1999 within the Alfaguara Hispánica collection.
For readers of contemporary fiction and Latin American literature, especially those seeking a raw vision of urban and social violence.
Fernando Vallejo Rendón is a Colombian-born novelist, filmmaker and essayist. He obtained Mexican citizenship in 2007.
