ONELL H, Roberto. Venga a nosotros tu Infierno: Lectura de dos relatos de Fernando Vallejo. Lit. lingüíst. [online]. 2006, n.17, pp.129-139. ISSN 0716-5811.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0716-58112006000100009.

In the Latin-American modernity, both processes urbanization and demographic growth have origin a vast marginal sector, making urban life spread out in a big hostility context. Colombian writer Fernando Vallejo’s narrative work shows this reality at both stories ‘Mi hermano el alcalde’ (Mi Brother the Mayor) and ‘La virgen de los sicarios’ (Our Lady of the Assassins). From the lecture of two stories, I conclude that the context is subjectively undertaken as Evil’s scene. The world of life is Hell
