This paper approaches the works of the storyteller Elpidia García Delgado by analyzing her recurrent topics: conflicts of the Mexican border context. For this, the theoretical work of Sayak Valencia in his book Gore Capitalism is the main point of reference used, in order to link the concepts he proposes to the social problems are Elpidia García’s reason for writing in favor of collective memory, combined with a critique of the historical past and present. Likewise, the analysis delves on the Endriago subject raised by Valencia, because its mimetic representation in García Delgado’s fictions is a substantial quality to understand the space from which it this author narrates.
