This year's Pulitzer winner list includes Cristina Rivera Garza's memoir El invencible verano de Liliana, originally published in Spanish, probably her best regarded work to date, a detailed and emotional account of her sister's femicide. https://www.pulitzer.org/prize-winners-by-year

Glad to see Selva Almada and Gabriela Wiener on the list! I met Wiener when she was a lecturer on a writing course I'm taking, I read Nueve lunas in preparation for it, and I thought it was good although not too impressive. I've heard Huaco retrato is her best work, so I'm glad she got nominated.

Hello friends! I'd love to join! I'm currently living in Spain so it would be 5pm:)

Oh shit my bad, i wanted to comment on the post while reading it but i got distracted:( I moved, for a masters degree. I will be staying here for six months or so:)

The most widely known version of this story says it was not Julio Cortázar, but colombian Álvaro Mutis. This makes a lot of sense because Mutis and García Márquez lived in México for the longest time and were very close friends.

Just got by mail argentinian poet Alejandra Pixarnik's Diaries and I'm already depressed.

In case he´s still reading us... Hi, Damion! Congratulations, you did a great job on that translation project. I would bet that your excellent version of Fosse´s books was not an insignificant part of the Swedish Academy´s decision. Feel free to join us anytime:) If he´s not, then let me talk...

Sextopiso just published the first volume of Fosse's collected poems in Spanish translation.

También el Fondo pública Mapocho, que es algo más larga y también baratísima.

Space Invaders!

I've only read Fernández and Luiselli from the list, and I would go for Fernández. She is a terrific writer.

I read Sónechka last year and I really liked it, I think it might be a good entry point, cuz it's very short and complex: you can see her playing with the Russian literature tradition and making it her own.

She's gonna be a lecturer on a masters degree I'm studying, and I'm very excited for that class!

I was wondering where did I got it in the first place!
