Abstract
This article examines the novel Caballeriza (2006) by Rodrigo Rey Rosa from the point of view of the Latin American detective crime fiction and more specifically of the Central American one. In the first instance, it reviews the way in which the novel admits a conscious distancing from the historical subgenres of the classic detective fiction. Later deepens the deconstruction that makes the novel of this genre from aesthetic procedures that do not belongs to the dogmatism of the classic genre, such as: 1) self-fiction and 2) detective fiction parody. It concludes that the novel provides new elements for the study of the post-war Central American novel.
