| Sumario: | “The Seventh Circle” collection, the crime novel series created by Jorge Luis Borges and Adolfo Bioy Casares in 1945, played a fundamental role in spreading crime narrative throughout Argentina and Latin America. This work seeks to define the model of the genre that the collection promoted in its first stage (1945-1956), examining all published works of the time and in dialogue with the materials produced by Borges and Bioy in the years they were in charge of the collection. We will try to show that this collection helped to define an idea of genre, based on features such as an antirealistic tone, a classic style, and the rigorous structure of its plot. |
