/lit/, where are the great Spanish writers?
Most famous writers of the Spanish language are Argentinian (Borges, Cortazar, Bioy) or from other South American countries. Bolaño lived in Barcelona but he's Chilean. The only great spanish writer that I know of is Cervantes. Where are they?
>>8091817
they all died with franco.
>>8091830
But after Franco Spain had Dali and Picasso still painted, it's not like art had died in the country.
Some countries produce certain forms better than others. Similar to the Netherlands, great painters, not many novelists.

Lorca
An contemporary author that i would recommend and probably its best is Enriqe Vila Matas. He has already been translated into English i would certainly recommend him.
Juan Goytisolo
