        Abstract
        Del policial clásico al post-neopolicial: La estética del crimen en la narrativa mexicana, 1940–2020 is a comprehensive study of Mexican crime fiction from cultural, gender, social, political, and literary perspectives. This book covers the different phases Mexican crime fiction has evolved through in the past eighty years: classical detective fiction (1940–1960s), género negro (1970s), neopolicial (1980–2000), narconarrative (1990s to the present), and post-neopolicial (2000 to the present). The first half of the book offers an overview of the development of crime fiction in the United States, how it was adopted by Mexican writers in the 1940s, and the changes it went through in its various phases. Writers studied include, among others, Paco Ignacio Taibo II, Rafael Ramírez Heredia, and Juan Hernández Luna. In addition, the author of this book coins a new term, post-neopolicial, to describe the most current form of crime fiction in the twenty-first century as exemplified in a corpus of novels that depict the realities of contemporary Mexico. The second half of the book focuses on the evolution of crime fiction by Mexican women writers from the 1940s to the present: from the classic detective formula to contemporary realistic narratives protagonized by subversive female characters in the works of María Elvira Bermúdez, Margos de Villanueva, Rosa Margot Ochoa, Ana María Maqueo, Carmen Boullosa, Myriam Laurini, Susana Pagano, Liliana Blum, Cristina Rivera Garza, Ana Ivonne Reyes Chiquete, Orfa Alarcón, Malú Huacuja del Toro, and others.
         
        Del policial al post-neopolicial: La estética del crimen en la narrativa mexicana, 1940-2020 es un estudio comprensivo de la narrativa criminal mexicana desde una perspectiva cultural, de género, social, política y literaria. Este libro abarca las diferentes facetas de la evolución de la narrativa criminal mexicana durante los últimos ochenta años: el policial clásico (1940–1960s), el género negro (1970s), el neopolicial (1980–2000), la narconarrativa (1990s-presente), y el post-neopolicial (2000-presente). La primera sección del libro ofrece una vista panorámica del inicio y evolución de la narrativa criminal en los Estados Unidos, su adopción por los escritores mexicanos en los años 1940s y los sucesivos cambios por los cuales el género ha atravesado durante sus diferentes facetas. Entre los escritores que se analizan en detalle en esta sección se encuentran Paco Ignacio Tabo II, Rafael Ramírez Hereda y Juan Hernández Luna. Cabe destacar que la autora de este libro ha acuñado un término nuevo, el post-neopolicial, para describir las formas más vigentes de la narrativa criminal mexicana del siglo veintiuno, ejemplificada en un corpus de novelas que retratan las realidades contemporáneas. La segunda mitad del libro se enfoca en la evolución de la narrativa criminal escrita por mujeres desde 1940 hasta el tiempo presente: de la fórmula clásica a las narrativas realistas contemporáneas protagonizadas por personajes femeninos subversivos en las obras de María Elvira Bermúdez, Margos de Villanueva, Rosa Margot Ochoa, Ana María Maqueo, Carmen Boullosa, Myriam Laurini, Susana Pagano, Liliana Blum, Cristina Rivera Garza, Ana Ivonne Reyes Chiquete, Orfa Alarcón, Malú Huacuja del Toro y otras.
