This article aims to review the main postulates of literary criticism about the narrative of la Violencia in Colombia in order to point out some of the most common inaccuracies that have been transmitted and consolidated in the understanding of this phenomenon. Through the analysis of the Colombian literary context of that time, this paper seeks to understand the causes that lead to such inaccuracies. Furthermore, it searches to reevaluate the use that these critical studies have given to the concept of «testimony», essential for the literary evaluation of the novels that compose the corpus of literature of la Violencia.
