For this purpose, Mario Bellatin’s Salón de belleza will be analyzed. The fantastic acts intratextually, by producing syntactic and discursive ruptures, whereas the dystopian provokes an extratextual transgression, by projecting Bellatin’s concerns about the exclusion of certain minority communities. Despite their differences, both the fantastic and the dystopian are rooted in reality: the fantastic, in its reliance on what the reader considers possible; the dystopian, in its ability to reveal hidden truths. In this way, the fantastic and the dystopian become a powerful tool in deconstructing – or at least questioning – the reader’s world view.
