In this work we will focus on Walsh’s productive and central use in Operación masacre of the formulas and techniques of suspense literature or “victim novel” learned from his translations of Cornell Woolrich / William Irish, of whom Walsh was the main translator into Spanish. Our approach will also seek to establish the points of productive convergence between the main characteristics of this translated suspense literature and some of Walsh’s rhetorical and political objectives in that book. La tarea traductora de Rodolfo Walsh en el género policial previa a la publicación de Operación masacre (1957) ha recibido poca atención crítica a pesar de que la traducción en general fue el mecanismo principal para la incorporación de nuevos modelos literarios al repertorio local en la época. En este trabajo nos centramos en el uso productivo y central que hizo Walsh en Operación masacre de las fórmulas y técnicas de la literatura de suspenso o “novela de la víctima” aprendidas de sus traducciones de Cornell Woolrich / William Irish, de quien Walsh era el principal traductor al castellano. Nuestro enfoque buscará establecer, igualmente, los puntos de convergencia productiva entre las principales características de esa literatura de suspenso traducida y algunos de los objetivos retóricos y políticos de Walsh en dicho libro.  application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/filologia/article/view/16578 10.34096/filologia.n57.16578 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/filologia/article/view/16578/14903 Derechos de autor 2025 Sebastián Henríquez Filología; Vol. 1 No. 57 (2025); 5-28 Filología; Vol. 1 Núm. 57 (2025); 5-28 2422-6009 0071-495X Rodolfo Walsh translation Operación masacre Cornell Woolrich William Irish Rodolfo Walsh traducción Operación masacre Cornell Woolrich William Irish Impact of Rodolfo Walsh’s crime fiction translations in Operation massacre (1957): the Cornell Woolrich / William Irish case Impacto de las traducciones policiales de Rodolfo Walsh en Operación masacre (1957): el caso Cornell Woolrich / William Irish info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo revisado por pares https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=filologia&d=16578_oai
