Rodrigo Fluxá, Creator and Demolisher of the Chilean Crónica
摘要
Rodrigo Fluxá’s career reflects the evolution of the Latin American cronista in the twenty-first century. Beginning in widely read magazines, Fluxá adapted as long-form journalism shifted from print to books and digital formats. By July 2022, he was focused on audiovisual projects, co-writing Netflix’s first Chilean true crime film, 42 días, inspired by his book on Viviana Haeger. Unlike many literary journalists chasing market trends, Fluxá is committed to creating a coherent body of work. He aims to be writing more books over the next two decades, balancing commercial projects like Netflix collaborations with his literary goals. His innovative path in Chile’s constrained literary journalism landscape is both impressive and inspiring. In an environment often shaped by rigid conventions, Fluxá’s work exemplifies the enduring relevance and appeal of the Latin American crónica, offering hope for its continued vitality.
