>pizarnik
Sylvia Plath tier. Her diaries are okay sometimes, though. Lispector was pretty good, also beautiful.
I like Juan Carlos Onetti, Ernesto Sabato, Silvina Ocampo, Elena Garro, María Luisa Bombal, Vicente Huidobro, Juan José Arreola, Jorge Luis Borges and José Emilio Pacheco.
I never liked Cortázar.
And alive... Juan Pablo Villalobos, César Aíra and Alejandro Zambra are okay.
Colton Ramirez
>Sylvia Plath tier.
So, great?
Aaron Butler
Listing the very best of latin american writers, one of the starters of postmodern literature, probably the symbol of reading and passion for books... Inventor of the most twisted and dark and pretty and inspiring stories ever told.
Hell, the very king of short prose.
With some random brazilian monkey that thinks the treasure of life is in our own hearts?
Fuck you. I hope you get sodomized with a book and die.
Hunter Hughes
fuck you I love Borges
Angel Sanders
Cortazar is edgy and shitty.
Borges is the only real argentine writer. Sabato and Bioy Casares as far long seconds. Puig maybe, it's a bit shit though.
Aiden Roberts
lol gottem
Gabriel Ross
Fuck you, me too.
Fuck coelho, you cunt. Go read some magazine if you like that self help shit.
Jeremiah Myers
How can Borges be so based?
Asher Peterson
No Rulfo?
You fucks haven't start to read.
Caleb Miller
There's a Mexican essayist who's pretty good, Gabriel Zaid. Also Sergio Pitol.
quality shitpost
Jacob Rogers
He gave no fucks.
Under the most demagogue presidency of argentina ever, with dictator peron? "Fuck him, monkey shit", and get thrown from the national library to a shitty job counting birds.
Did he cared? Fuck no. Still reading stuff, still writting masterpieces.
Borges is lit as fuck.
Mason Roberts
He's god tier, too bad we only have two books and his letters to Clara. Read Pedro Páramo for the first time at school when I was like 15, still one of my favorite books.
Jaxson Foster
>Gabriel Zaid
Was only talking about argentines, but yes, Zaid is kwai.
Rulfo and Octavio Paz made mexico readable though.
Eli Ortiz
>Pedro Paramo
>El Llano en Llamas
>El gallo de oro
and there is a lot of other works of him
Thomas Sullivan
True, forgot about El gallo. But not "a lot of other works", just two potumous short stories.
William Carter
>Pedro Paramo
You only need that one though. Probably the best single piece of text from the Spanish language since Don Quixote.
"Borges considered Pedro Páramo to be one of the greatest texts in any language" independent.co.uk
Lincoln Rivera
I have a problem with Paz. He was good, but there's so much useless and uninteresting stuff he wrote that sometimes is difficult to find something worth reading. His poetry is amazing, though. And his ex wife, Elena Garro, wrote a really good novel and ebin plays, just saying.
Sebastian Walker
No one likes Bolaño? Too memey?
Nathaniel Perry
I read 2666. Meme tier. I hate the publishing house which edits his work so that's another reason I haven't read more. Now a new editorial is gonna publish him and oh, surprise, if the other fuggin editorial I hate.
Gavin Scott
Detectives is better.
Jace Adams
I thought it was comfy and the edgy parts were well executed
Benjamin Richardson

Lucas Perez
