This article aims to analyze a recurring aspect in books that explore the boundaries of journalism and literature. It is a double gesture regarding the look. A gesture that, in different ways, values the narrator's gaze (“What I saw, nobody could see”), but at the same time recognizes its limitations. This simultaneous declaration of potency and insufficiency can be observed in a wide spectrum of authors from the most diverse origins, but here I propose to examine it in three Latin American writers: the Brazilian Eliane Brum and the Argentine Leila Guerriero and Selva Almada.
