Zoardia was born in Ecuador but raised in the US. And Saenz is a Latino writer. It's the closest I can get to #southamericanwriters in my collection. #falintobooks

LibrarianRyan @Laura317 happy to help!! 7y

She's been on the TBR for so long that it's #awkward to admit I haven't read any of her works yet...

"The Circular Ruins" is one of my favorite short stories. #SouthAmericanWriters #FallIntoBooks @RealLifeReading

Billypar I've only read a short collection of his (included Circular Ruins) and they were all so good. Tlon, Uqbar..., Library if Babel, Garden of Forking Paths. I can't wait to read more. 7y
Billypar Oh, duh... It's the same one you tagged that I read- Ficciones- Litsy just has two versions.. 7y

Of Love and Other Demons | Gabriel Garcia Marquez
post image

#SouthAmericanWriters #fallintobooks

I was introduced to Gabriel Garcia Marquez in college--I read Of Love and Other Demons and found it surreal and beautiful and so different from my usual reading. I later read One Hundred Years of Solitude and loved it. That opening! That ending! Then I read Love in the Time of Cholera with a book club and we all hated it. I have yet to find a person who has read and actually liked that book. Anyone??

BooksintheDelta Eek, me! It is one of my favorites. But it did take me forever to finish it. What I call a Slow Burn. 7y
BarbaraJean @BooksintheDelta Ha! Well, I'm glad you liked it and glad to find someone who appreciates it, even if I didn't!! 7y
Centique Ohhh I love Love in the Time of the Cholera. 🙃 I guess it's just about the right book at the right time for each of us. It fitted for me but it's ok if it doesn't for others! 7y

BooksintheDelta @Centique I agree! I can really see how it isn't for everyone, but it was a beautiful story for me! 7y
Cathythoughts I loved Love in the time of Cholera. It was the first one of his i read. "Her arms & legs akimbo " ❤️ (edited) 7y
BarbaraJean @Centique @Cathythoughts I'm glad it's a book that fit for you!! Hearing all of you praise it makes me wonder if I should try it again... but I SO disliked it that I doubt I ever will. ☹️ 7y

#fallintobooks #day7 - #southamericanwriters

I kinda dig the look of the Everyman's Library: The uniform spines look sharp on a shelf, and it's a series with the good sense to feature built-in bookmarks.

vivastory I love Everyman's editions. 7y

Aphrodite: A Memoir of the Senses | Isabel Allende, Panchita Llona
post image

Day 7 #FallIntoBooks #SouthAmericanWriters I've used Isabel Allende for similar prompts but she's the South American writer I'm most familiar with. Introduced to The House of the Spirits in a college Women's World Lit class, I've read a few of her books. Aphrodite is probably my favorite for the sensuous food writing, but The House of the Spirits & Eva Luna are right up there. Island Beneath the Sea & The Japanese Lover are in my #TBR stack. 📚💛

Sadly, I believe this is the only book that I own of a South American writer. I haven't read it yet, but the reviews are mixed. It'll sit on the #tbr shelf a little while longer, I think.

A few other wonderful South American & latin Caribbean authors that I've loved over the years including a very powerful memoir about one man's experience with dual prejudice, as both a black Cuban, & then as an African American once he came to the United States.

mrozzz I want to add all of these to my TBR!!! 7y
