| Sumario: | In this work the fictional status of David Simon's works related to drug trafficking is analyzed, which can be considered within the subgenre of true crime, an evolution of the non-fiction novel or new journalism. The theoretical-critical instrument used is based on the theory of possible worlds, more specifically, on a interpretation of this where the syntactic components of transformation are also considered fundamental, along with the semantic and pragmatic ones, for the fictional construction. of a text, sometimes contradicting the authors' claims to establish pacts of factuality with the readers of their works. In the case of the works of David Simon that are taken into consideration, Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets and The Corner: A Year in the Life of an Inner-City Neighborhood, origin of the famous TV series The Wire, the author uses the paratext to justify the non-fictional status of its works. Our purpose is to confront these paratexts with the main texts based on the previously mentioned theoretical developments with the objective of elucidating whether such claims can be sustained from the field of literary theory, concluding that this type of works should be assigned to the field of realistic fiction. |
