reception

Lynch's novel “La alfombra roja” caused a sensation because it describes the political landscape of her country. The protagonist is a ruthless politician who inhumanly pursues his plan to come to power. Lynch does not interpret this type of Machiavellianism as the expression of an individual, but rather sees in it the reality of the political system that has deteriorated as a whole.

In her novel “Al vencedor”, Lynch addresses the collapse of society in a similarly ruthless manner. Broken apart into a small privileged part and the losers of society, rapprochement or understanding is no longer possible.
