Daniel, Fausto, Meircuri: Argentinian literature looks very interesting. But could you add a few words of explanation why specific writers are interesting for you, or point us to texts, in Spanish but preferably also in English, which tell us outsiders a bit more about their works?

It is always possible to Google for the names mentioned, and look at Wikipedia entries. But when you mention specific names, presumably on account of your personal taste, it would be interesting to know why you chose those names.

Velasco, Roncangliolo, Eloy Martínez, Orlando Rodríguez, Leante, Restrepo, Puig, Neuman, Vicent, Gelman, Piglia, etc., etc. They are, unfortunately, just names to us Europeans, especially those of us that have either no knowledge of Spanish, or a very limited knowledge. So it's no wonder that threads like this one die (last posting 25th March 2009). We have no encouragement to find out more, merely a list of names.
