Ayer y hoy del nuevo periodismo norteamericano

Abstract

What came to be labelled «new journalism» in the sixties or «non-fiction novel» in recent years has expanded the margins of the American novel in a way that deserves critical attention. Leaving aside some of its original claims and generic pretentions —formulated by Tom Wolfe and overenthusiastically reexamined by others— this critical survey explores the common field shared by fiction and literary reportage and tries to bridge the gap opened between them with the coming of the new journalism.
