Javier Valdez (1967-2017) became best Mexican “narco” chronicler writing Malayerba, his own section within the newspaper Ríodoce. He described Mexican street-life through fictional short tales tending towards flash-fiction literary genre. Here, I will demonstrate how Valdez’s chronicles develop basic flash-fiction characteristics. Finally, I state that Malayerba represents a new way of showing and denouncing “narco” violence in Mexico
