Having been known as a journalist of remarkable achievements on the chronicle genre, Tomás Carrasquilla started out with his first novel what we know as fiction literature in and about Medellín. The purpose of this article is to look at the novel as a work of narrative that, for its possible link to literary schools like naturalism and costumbrismo, is pretty close to fulfill the main function of journalism; supporting reality, whether to show it objectively or to interpret it. Departing from Carrasquilla’s novel, we try to follow the path that leads to contemporary phenomena such as urban literature and literary journalism, and we give some examples.
