re: Argentine Literature
I've started reading Lugones' Strange Forces - it certainly is pretty weird and baroque and thoroughly recommended.
Also, much impressed by Juan Jose Saer, after only one novel - The Investigation; have another two lying about the flat somewhere, for when I get around to them.
From that list Eric posted, the others I've read have all been pretty so-so: Abel Posse, Luisa Valenzuela, Roberto Piglia, Cesar Aira, Manuel Puig. *shrugs shoulders*
I think I'll have a go at Eduardo Berti right now, since it's quite short.
