Is Arreola any good?

>>11256698
You have to go back.

"La marrana negra de la literatura rosa", they've even made movies out of short stories in this one.

ines arredondo is pretty cool

pitol's trilogia de la memoria

No me gusto Pedro Paramo

>>11256692
Casi el paraíso (Almost Paradise)

>>11256713
He's one the best, desu. Borges said he loved how Arreola never constrained to any topic, style, or genre, he let himself be led around by his imagination, which was copious.

Early example of stream of consciousness

>>11257421
i'd say it's more of a nouveau romain-inspired "anti-novel" than a stream of consciousness

is there a better translation of Pedro Paramo available than the Margaret Sayers Peden one?

Undisputed GOAT poet.
Owens, Pacheco and Nervo are fantastic as well

What's some good spanish flash fiction/prose poetry? Mexican or otherwise

Alí Chumacero - poesía

This is god-tier, but not stream of consciousness-

Heard a story once, probably apocryphal. At some party or reunion a friend of Monterroso introduced him to someone. "This is Augusto, he wrote The Dinosaur. Have you read it?" And the other person replied "Oh, I started it but haven't finished it, I'm about halfway through."

>>11257846
Monterroso was from Honduras tho

First post, best post.

Ulysses had already been written and published 40 years before.
There is absolutely nothing in Spanish language litetature that had never been tried before.

Todos somos hijos del Pedro Paramo

>>11257835
I'm not familiar with Chumacero but Canciones de tumba was a terrific read

>>11258615
>There is absolutely nothing in Spanish language litetature that had never been tried before
This may be one of the dumbest things I've ever read on this board

>>11257421
>The text is of difficult reading and requires a series of codes to be decyphered. Its main themes are eroticism, chinese writing, pleasure, repulsión, horror, fortune telling and the I Ching.

it sounds interesting, never heard about it.

>>11257497
l like Nervo, too, and apparently he also wrote short stories and novels.

>>11256692
Read this gem if you havent. Political satire a la mexicana. Cant do wrong with this.

>>11260580

xenophobic and anti-itellectuals in a single post, not bad, but you could improve, murifag.

>>11261892
who made that cover? lol is it a goofy book? or is it serious?

they should build a wall to keep the amerimuts out of south america

i f-up, this was the book

>>11261841
when's the impeachment/resignation happening?(hurry the fuck up, muller)

>>11260383
Chumacero is good, plus he has very few poems.
Herbert's book is top notch. He's a good lad, also. Has a weird rock band called 'Los tigres de Borges'.

>>11260580
>Political satire a la mexicana
You mean like Trino or is it good?

>>11261316
>(((h)))

pedro paramo is one of my favorite books but ive only read it in english-how hard is it to read in spanish?
anyone ever seen the movie

>>11262012
>Canciones de tumba
It's about the author's prostitute mother, right?

>>11262022
>You mean like Trino or is it good?
Mmm no, I mean, political satire, not comics. So, it's good, very subtle humor not bombastic/vulgar.

>>11262028
Yes. It's sort of a family history/chronicle.

>>11262025
The language is simple but very poetic. Its style is about half of what makes it so good, so if you can ever read it in spanish go ahead.
Movie is surprisingly good too. Though feels like a definitive adaptation is still in order

>>11262029
>very subtle humor not bombastic/vulgar.
That's wat I meant by Trino-like. He sucks dicks. Thanks for the recc, amigo.

edgy atheist guys like trump? i imagine they do not, they probably like ron paul or something

>>11261905
It's a damn good book but that cover is fucking ridiculous.

Other than the anon who mentioned El Apando, I dont see any work from Revueltas. First I thought it had to do with his political views, but maybe there are not translations of his work to begin with. Anyway, his short stories are great. I like how he can write heavy shit without making it feel edgy or hincty. Just raw slices of life.

>>11256692
Jorge Cuesta poetry is great, but I only have read it trough anthologies.

>>11262494
el luto humano is outstanding too

>>11256731
No. You.
