BERNAL MEDEL, Bisherú. The realistic facet and the memory in two stories about the Mexican guerrilla. Connotas. Rev. crit. teór. lit. [online]. 2020, n.20, pp.101-129.  Epub 15-Feb-2021. ISSN 2448-6019.  https://doi.org/10.36798/critlit.vi20.318.

This work begins with a panoramic review of the guerrillas of the sixties and seventies of the twentieth century in Mexico, one of the most difficult episodes of our relatively recent history, which needs to be examined from different fields, with exercises like this one, to be incorporated into our social past. The objective in this space is to analyze two stories about the context referred to from the perspective of literary realism, rescuing memory through literature, which becomes a key instrument when preparing the review of traumatic events. In this way, it is sought to claim with writing the struggle carried out in those dark times of the recent Mexican past, in an attempt to pay off at least a small part of the immense debt to the actors who offered their lives to create the possibility of that future generations would glimpse a brighter future.
