Latin America Greatest Writer

How familiar Veeky Forums is with the works of the greatest Latin American writer?

>looking at pictures of authors instead of reading their work

brazilians need to stop pushing this irrelevant meme author no one's ever heard of

Wat?

>irrelevant meme author no one's ever heard of

He can't be a meme author if no one has ever heard about him. You are contradicting yourself here, user. What's the best Latin American in your opinion btw?

I've read Ficciones and Labyrinths

Muito afrancesado pro meu gosto.

You are mistaking him for the Argentine writer Borges, the second greatest Latin American writer.
Voice your opinion. Who's the best one then?

Eu aprecio Euclides da Cunha, mas por motivos mais pessoais.

I found his social criticism and wit quite interesting, but not much else.
Are there more facets to his work besides politics and irony? I'm currently quite interested in Brazilian literature, and would like to get deeper into it

Gabriel García Márquez is the greatest Latin American writer. Machado is great, but nothing he ever wrote compares to One Hundred Years of Solitude.
