Jorge Franco's Rosario Tijeras

Rosario Tijeras is a novela by Jorge Franco. The story or history rather of a victim of both violence and prostitution under the employment of a capo of the mafia who maintains her in a way of living her mother had never dreamt of. She comes with this world with her brother’s help who already has fame in the underworld. Jorge Franco’s Rosario Tijeras has come under criticism due to its portrayal of Colombians. Others claim that it is not so much as a novel as a chronicle that is somewhat fictitious with a slang that does not sound fluid. To defend the point of view that favors this novel you can say it depicts the tragedy of the story with an expertise narration till the very end.

As a writer reading this novel I appreciated what Jorge Franco wanted to convey, to narrated a story with no great stylistic argument. Because the novel depicts the struggle of both men and women who elect to live a life of violence it reaches a profound level as it shows the social problems in Colombia. Being shot at point-blank range while kissing Rosario confuses the pain of love with agony of death. Rosario Tijeras the victim or victimized character of Jorge Franco's intentional contrasts throughout the novels, which make it somewhat masochistic, and sets the tone of the torture in the novel. Set in a path of destruction Medellín.Her name that conjures the image of a biblical reference. In contrast with scissors her conflict as a woman in Colombia who becomes a contract killer to masochistically torture herself that spills into her world. She is shot, gravely wounded, and the circle of contradiction is closed.
