FLORES ESQUIVEL, Enrique. Immemorable Crimes: Crime Reporting and “Material de los sueños”. Lit. mex [online]. 2019, vol.30, n.1, pp.89-113. ISSN 2448-8216.  https://doi.org/10.19130/iifl.litmex.30.1.2019.1160.

From the beginning of his career, José Revueltas reveals a persistent attraction for criminal cases, their popular repercussions and his philosophical research. From the exploration of the underworld of the crime reporting and popular press, and a deep immersion in the judicial archives, his last works deepen with a sometimes excessive and delirious reflection on crime and its memory, freedom and the law, the “profound act” and the forgetting of a previously committed crime, within the framework of a speculation that appeals to narrative resources -deeply poetic, and at times psychoanalytic-. This essay approaches, mainly from the notes and drafts left by Revueltas, two fragments of that last period: the story “Hegel y yo,” included in Material de los sueños, and the pages that remain of his unfinished novel: El tiempo y el número. And with the background of dream and death.

Palabras llave : Crime; Liberty; Memory; Death; Psychoanalysis; Dream.
