The 3 best books by José Pablo Feinmann

Philosopher by vocation and title, journalist by communicative necessity and writer by cultural concern. If to all this we add that Jose Pablo Feinmann He also writes film scripts, we find a kind of cultural factotum with his powerful social and political concerns with which he also ends up approaching the essay as a channel for his thoughts more rooted in reality.

When it comes to the strict fictional narrative, Jose Pablo Feinmann plunges into the black gender with the will of someone who seeks to reveal how much blackness our reality has. From the highest spheres to the deepest suburbs, everything ends up moving under the squalor of spurious interests. The strongest in the human pyramid, today, is the one capable of surviving himself stripped of morals.

The less morale the higher you can get. And the crime novel, despite its association with the fictional narrative, often deals with the falsehood behind liberalism, capitalism, slogans and good manners. Discovering the crime novel as a form of denunciation is nothing new. Since this genre transformed the police genre, the dark functioning of societies is the clearest reflection of many of these novels between the police and the other extreme of thrillers without social or political ties.

Feinmann writes those kinds of crime novels, the ones that talk about gears and mechanisms that squeak in the mechanical functioning of our societies.

3 recommended novels by José Pablo Feinmann

The crimes of Van Gogh

The nineties were approaching the new millennium with social uncertainties but with a perfect halo of triumphant modernity. The Argentina of those years was moving away from old conflicts with pending debts that still allowed policemen inherited from dictatorships or who were still capable of recovering shadows and fears.

Fear is a great control tool, but it has its unexpected drifts in the most heinous characters. The evil in this novel is a geometric body of variable edges where we discover types whose vital purpose is to become serial killers, others for whom abuse is a right acquired by the years of defeat, the most capable disguise themselves as benefactors to take better advantage of evil. A wicked world without a doubt not so far away in the 90s or until today.

The impossible corpse

The theme of obsession with winning always has a comical edge that can end up being tragic. The writer who seeks to be beyond his own eyes, who longs to abandon the invisibility of his desk to transcend, enters into a contradiction and conflict that can lead to either side. First, because being a writer is writing (in the first and last instance)

The character in this story stops writing for him, for the pleasure or the will to tell something, and tries to reach imaginary readers fascinated by the blood and violence of his very black crime novels. Until at some point that click occurs, that point of no return in which obsession turns his own life into the scene of his black proposals ... Obsession and delirium, failure and the most unhealthy success.
