With a purpose that can well be considered, in principle, comparative, this text makes an interpretive exercise on the novels Burned Money (Ricardo Pi- glia) and The Virgin of the Sicarios (Fernando Vallejo), with the desire to show how, in the thematic and stylistic concordance, there is a clear interest in re- vealing, without prejudice, the marginalized life of a certain sector of society branded by criminality. In an effort that bases the historical context in which both novels appear (and from which they drink) literary aesthetics reveals the strength to impact social springs.
