“El idiota en familia”: de Manuel Vázquez Montalbán génesis de la serie Carvalho y retrato desencantado de la España de 1977

This dissertation analyses the relationship between the three transitional novels of Manuel Vázquez Montalbán—La soledad del mánager, Los mares del sur, and Asesinato en el Comité Central and the series of articles titled El idiota en familia, which the author wrote for Interviú magazine in 1977, a key year for understanding the Spanish Transition. These articles featured detective Carvalho and journalist Señor Vázquez, a clear reference to the author himself. Therefore, this study first examines the key elements of the noir genre and the first two works featuring Carvalho: Yo maté a Kennedy and Tatuaje. Secondly, it explores the author's journalistic work, the main media outlets in which he published, and the significance of pseudonyms in his writing, as some of them served as clear precursors to the detective. After analysing the fifty-three articles published in the magazine, the study establishes connections between these articles and the three transitional novels in terms of themes, characters, and intertextual elements.
