[net.books] Contemporary Latin American literature

hope@gatech.UUCP (08/31/83)

Is there anyone out there interested in CLAM (see 'subject')?  I mean the 
good stuff by Garcia Marquez and Vargas Llosa.  In case you're interested
but haven't gotten into it at all, I suggest short stories by Gabriel Garcia
Marquez such as "No one writes to the Colonel" or "The Leafstorm".  The 
original versions (in Spanish) are much better, but Rabassa does a great job
of translating them to English.  If you *have* done some of this stuff already
(perhaps "100 Years of Solitude") and would like to get into the *heavy* books,
try "The Green House" (La Casa Verde) by Mario Vargas Llosa.  I'd like to dis-
cuss these literary wonders with someone.
