As a latin american boy i find it very interesting since the first page because everything is relatable with south american culture. I don't know exactly the point when starts to get exciting for non latin americans. One of the best books i read so far.

French and indigenous languages are also in the list even tho indigenous languages aren't derived from latin. It's also about culture, the same goes for Guyana with english and Suriname with dutch language.

Maybe the next thread can be South America Literature /salit/ and not specifically Latin America.

Vidas Secas - Graciliano Ramos
"Dry Lives"
About Brazil's northeast poverty. Damn good DRY book showing how things were when Brazil still was a country with people dying of hunger (not a reality anymore after the big social program in 2003 "Fome Zero" by Lula)
The style it's also dry with ondinary characters not even having names and even inferior to their own dog (that has a name). They're so dry that they don't even know how to use the language properly, expanding this image of how bestial and marginalised they are by Brazil's governement in the 30's.
