Abstract
It appears that both in the media and in public opinion, we are accustomed to conceive crime as a deviation, a mental illness or a bestiality. The novel No me ignores (2010), by Chilean author Nicolas Poblete, however, questions this idea raising the possibility that murderers are fully rational individuals protected by a system that allows this. From a femicide's voice, Poblete reflects on the murder of women for gender reasons in the context of a patriarchal society that justifies and promotes all forms of violence against women.
