South American writers

[Linda7228]

I have several favorite South American authors, Gabriel Garcia Marquez is one of my favorites and although his most popular novel is One Hundred Years of Solitude my personal favorite is News of a Kidnapping.Isabel Allende was the first author I have read everything by she is amazing, her stories are compelling and wonderful.If you decide to read her I recommend Ines of My Soul it's my favorite it tells the story of the Independence of Chile the country where she is from in the perspective of a woman who helped achieve this goal.

LOVE Isabel Allende! My favorite author of all time... discovered her in college and I've been hooked since. If you like her, you should read julia alvarez (dominican). I named my daughter Camila bc of In the Name of Salome!... And I agree south/Latin Americans write so passionately about their countries, and culture definitely comes through in a good way!

Generally I believe most South American writer's I have enjoyed.
Gabriel García Márquez's A Chronicle of a Death Foretold was amazing.
And I love Isabel Allende's Ines of my Soul cause it was the first book I read by her I have the book El Cuaderno de Maya (Maya's Notebook) to read.
