description This article investigates the imbrications and porosities between fiction and nonfiction in Latin America. It analyzes a two-way textual process in which writers working for newspapers included styles and characteristics of literature in their journalistic texts as they simultaneously created works of fiction that were based on or influenced by their journalism. This discursive dialogism occurs in a space herein called the «narrative room». Deeply rooted in Latin American literary tradition, this phenomenon has produced texts with different degrees of hybridity that blur the boundaries between Latin American literature and journalism.

Deeply rooted in Latin American literary tradition, this phenomenon has produced texts with different degrees of hybridity that blur the boundaries between Latin American literature and journalism. Este artículo investiga las imbricaciones y porosidades entre la ficción y la no ficción en América Latina y analiza un proceso textual de doble vía en el que escritores que trabajaron en periódicos incluyeron estilos y características de la literatura en su quehacer periodístico al mismo tiempo que crearon obras de ficción basadas o influenciadas en su labor como reporteros. Este dialogismo discursivo, articulado en un espacio que aquí se denomina la «sala de narración», es un fenómeno con profundas raíces en la tradición literaria latinoamericana y ha producido textos con diferentes grados de hibridez que relativizan el argumento de quienes consideran que hay fronteras definitivas entre los discursos literarios y periodísticos de América Latina.
