Nueva Narrativa Argentina

Emerging in the aftermath of Argentina's Dirty War (1974-1983), a violent military dictatorship, the Nueva Narrativa Argentina blend horror, speculative fiction, and magical realism to excavate Argentinian cultural trauma. Stories by authors like Samantha Schweblin, Mariana Enriquez, and Agustina Bazterrica use horror techniques to examine themes like capitalist exploitation, surveillance culture, and the power of the government to disappear individuals.
