Abstract

Abstract Elena Poniatowska is the author of more than fifty books that encompass almost every literary genre, including the novel and its various forms: semi-autobiographical, biographical, epistolary, and testimonial. Despite her wide-ranging literary production, Poniatowska is best known for the journalistic genres she reinvented in Mexico, evoking comparison with the New Journalism of the 1960s, such as the chronicle and the group testimonial. This chapter explores both her reportage and the literary devices she uses in her works of fiction through a chronological discussion and analysis of some of her most relevant works. It also includes citations from original sources -particularly journalistic- that have not been provided in past studies.
