Current Latin American narratives are represented by authors whose stories happen in places that exceed national coordinates: these are the spaces of Modernity pointed out by Huyssen (2010) —the local, the national and the global. This article argues that by placing such places in an equal situation, the dichotomy between the civilized and the barbaric could be reconciled. This point is argued through a critical approach to Santiago Gamboa’s Plegarias nocturnas (2012), and a panoramic revision to certain works by Jorge Volpi, in order to determine if a new Latin American narrative conceals both the urban and the global.
