Abstract
The current Latin American context highlights the need of an intellectual commitment in order to restore a shared and transnational memory: this is the implicit message of Gustavo Gorriti’s works (Lima, 1948 - ). In his whole production, and in particular in “Sendero: historia de la guerra milenaria en el Perú” (Lima, 2008) Gorriti blends different elements of the literary and journalistic disciplines, with ethical values. Fundación Nuevo Periodismo Iberoamericano – which is presided over by Gabriel García Márquez, features prestigious members like Alma Guillermoprieto and Horacio Verbitsky – conferred the Nuevo Periodismo Prize to Gustavo Gorriti in 2012, for his Latin American narrative journalism. His works outstrip the North American creative nonfiction in witnessing the current social background. Gorriti, influenced by the Argentinian tradition, inaugurated by Rodolfo Walsh, blurs the customary distinction between literary genres by interweaving social criticism and the social process of identity building.Pubblicazioni consigliate
