Trade Review
"A brilliant and original book that traces the power of ‘crime’ to fuse and divide the entire social field. Written with a rare wit and humor, The Corpus Delicti draws impartially on every kind of Argentine crime story. . . . One of the few books I have read in which the footnotes are as entertaining as the text."
—Jean Franco, Columbia University
