- Abstract
This article proposes a reading of the novel El ruido de las cosas al caer (2011) by Juan Gabriel Vásquez from the perspective of the narco convention and poetics existing in Colombian narrative. The aim of the paper is to demonstrate a paradoxical condition of the novel: handling all the ingredients of the narco convention and poetics, the novel portrays a failure of the illusions of drug trafficking as a way of social and individual ascent, which makes it a kind of anti-narconovela and leads to a certain subversion of the narco paradigm.
