This group includes the Colombian writers Laura Restrepo, Silvia Galvis, Pilar Quintana and Ma. Cristina Restrepo, whose novels establish the narrative coordinates of a writing beyond sensibility, with which the vectors of a diligent look of a society committed to history and the expressions of its own existence.
