In the crónica the themes are often quixotic because it is interested in eccentric characters, improbable activities, in addition to the inevitable violence of the Latin American reality.This paper explores how some quixotic perspectives are represented in current crónicas of Martin Caparros, Leila Guerriero, Juan Gabriel Villoro and Wiener.
