“Our Virgin of the Assassins isn’t a documentary about the murderer children of Medellín. It isn’t, not aimed to be; I would have written it another way. It is a story where the assassins are, where the church they go in pilgrimage is. And it is a story where, foremost, I am” says Fernando Vallejo about his novel published on 1994, that which beyond making popular the literary movement known as Sicario stories or Narcorrealism, brought together readers from many countries –it is translated into over 10 languages and was taken to the cinema–, the culture and the contexts that enveloped the figure of the assassin in Medellín through the author’s own experience.
“A love story in the country of hatred” is the one that invites to listen o Fernando Vallejo who, in his own voice, shares from the beginning of this book, a definite opening that is set in those spots of the Sabaneta through the linguistic, the knowledge of geography, the descriptions, and that style where the tradition of oral narrative stands out.
