The Premio Cervantes 2010 was awarded today to Spanish writer Ana María Matute. Continuing with the tradition, this year's prize go to a Spanish author since last year Mexican poet José Emilio Pachecho was honoured with this distinction.
The 85 year old novelist is part of the generation called "the children of war" which comprehends such important Spanish writers as Juan Marsé, Rafael Sánchez Ferlosio and Juan Goytisolo.
Here's the wiki link on her bio

I've never read anything from her, so again I turn to you guys for your knowledge to provide opinions if you read it already. Maybe Manuel is the right one to answer this.
