Stay away from Isabel Allende. Stay away from Laura Esquivel. Stay away from Jorge Volpi and his cronies.
Also, if we're counting Brazil, you gotta read Eca de Queiroz.

>Felipe Alfau (Barcelona, 24 de agosto de 1902 – Nueva York, 1999) fue un escritor español, emigrado a Estados Unidos, que escribió la mayoría de sus obras en inglés.

But it was surprisingly good.
>>7743125
it's a masterpiece, but when people talk about latin american literature brazil is excluded
>>7743134
>when people talk about latin american literature brazil is excluded
Why should it be?
Has anyone read this?
Is it sort of a tell all/exploration of the brutality of Chilean autocracy and one mans exploration of it undercover, or does marquez do what he does and obscure it through games with tangents and characters and the suffering he inflicts on them.
>>7743071
Onle 15 years of this century have passed. He has yet to endure time's test. Also, he looks like a faggot, and his prose is affected as fuck.
>>7743140
I don't know, but even brazilians do this.
That being said, I can't stress how good Raduan Nassar is and remember you people both his novels just got translated to english and they're pretty short (read both in the same day)

Step aside plebians
>>7743134
Because Brazil is the only country in south America that speaks portuguese, and portuguese, albeit similar to spanish, makes for a completely different style of writing.

>>7743311
You could just not read it. That broad really got around so trying to avoid her is just going to do you harm.
>>7743344
le problem solved
>>7743007
Eça de Queiroz is portuguese. From Portugal, not Brazil. Europe, not Latin-America.
>>7743357
None of the authors in this thread would be able to accurately describe this level of autism.
>>7743408
Portuguese translates better into another Romance language, and said Romance language doesn't have absolute shit-tier """""""""""writers"""""""""""" attaching their names to great works of art?
Being an Anglo monoglot is the highest form of autism.
>>7742786
i'm amazed no one has mentioned Gene Wolfe yet.
>>7743421
Nah you literally have autism my man.
>Nobody is talking about the GOAT latin american romancist
>>7743465
Dude, just look at the posts. You didn't even read the thread.
>>7743465

Alfonso Reyes, I love his short stories and essays.
>>7743465
How come Machado isn't more recognized internationally?
>>7743533
Because he's shit.
>>7743272
Lugones is way better desu familiar mio
>>7743533
Because he wrote in portuguese
>No Pizarnik
Not a mention of Benedetti, Uslar Pietri, Galeano, man, this shit is full mexicans, fucking dammit.
>>7743007
>Gallegos
Dude, this man is a meme over here. Our best writer is Arturo Uslar Pietri.
>>7743006
So what you fucking mexican? He is still more integral to latin american literature than any of the writers of el chavo del ocho being posted here.
>>7743071
How can you be considered part of Latin America is you are missing the most important part of it, which is the language?
Gringo go home.
>>7744289
How can you be part of internet culture and not realize he was being funny. Maybe you should come out of the jungle more.
Zambra is pretty good, and he's contemporary, so no all hope is lost. Especially around authors like Fouguet, who sucks. Hell, all the authors from the McOndo movement suck. Stay away from it.
mfw everyone forgets the author of the first good novel...
>>7744267
>galeano
Fucking commie faggot kek
Now really, is he worth it? I've readlas venas abiertasand his writing style seems fine, but nothing to die for.
>>7744515
Futbol a sol y sombra if you like football is going to becoming like your bible.
Other than that, he worked mostly as a journalist that is why his style is lile that.
>>7742786
No Silvina Ocampo guys? I've just finished her short stories and greatly enjoyed them. I've read much to little of the others mentioned here to argues if she matches up. Who has a similar style, but better? (other than Borges)
