HNGGGGGGGGGGGGG

The greatest genius of all south american writers was Guimarães Rosa, but you either read his work in portuguese or don't read it at all; the translations are hideous, and fail to maintain the genius of his work.

Elena Poniatowska, Carlos Fuentes, Octavio Paz, Juan Rulfo, Jose Vasconcelos, Mariano Azuela. Julio Cortazar, Jorge Borges.

Cesar Vallejo is the Baudelaire of South America, please read him if you haven't already (this is coming from someone who pathologically hates fawning, uncritical fanboys.) you won't regret it

>>2619770

Jorge Luis Borges, Cortázar, Onetti, Hugo Correa, Nicanor Parra ("anti-poet" just won Cervantes award)

Sabato too

>>2619770
everything by allan kardec
you're welcome

>>2619801
It's spelled Coelho and his books are like the Twilight of latinamerican literature.

Mario Vargas Llosa - The Green House and Conversation in the Cathedral are fucking godtier.

Gabo - 100 Years, Chronicle of a Death Foretold

Juan Rulfo - The Burning Plain, Pedro Paramo

Roberto Arlt - Mad Toy

Pedro Páramo is certainly a masterpiece. You have to read it again multiple times in order to understand it fully.

"Chronos" by Nicanor Parra

In Santiago, Chile
The days are interminably long:
Several eternities in a day.

Like the vendors of seaweed
Travelling on the backs of mules:
You yawn - you yawn again.

Yet the weeks are short
The months go racing by
And the years have wings.

>this feel

Pedro Páramo is also scary. Not scary like a horror movie but it makes you feel uneasy and terrified on the inside, even if you read it at daylight in a crowded place. I love it.

Roberto Bolano! 2666 is awesome.

Salvador Elizondo, Inés Arredondo, early José Emilio Pacheco (everything from El Principio del Placer and on is poop), Leñero, Pitol, Juan García Ponce, Arreola, Ochoa, Zaid, Glantz, Aridjis, Eraclio Zepeda, Efraín Huerta, Maples Arce, Arqueles Vela, Villaurrutia, Owen, Rulfo, Sabines, Segovia, Bellatin, early-Enrigue (Decencia is anything but decent, let alone good), Rulfo, Dávila.

Fuck Paz. Fuck Fuentes. Fuck Revolución lit (that isn't Rulfo). Fuck Christopher Domínguez Michael, Letras Libres and the other Paz' widows. tr00 lyt 5ever. Thumbs up if you agree.

Here, listen up.

You REALLY don't want to read that "Boom" shit tier (Garcia Marquez, Vargas Llosa, Cortázar, HURR DURR).

I recommend, strongly:

Mario Levrero from Uruguay
Alan Pauls from Argentina
Martin Kohan from Argentina
Roberto Bolaño from Chile
Fogwill from Argentina
Juan Emar from Chile
Salvador Elizondo (MUST GET FARABEUPH)
Juan José Saer, Argentina
Rodrigo Fresan, Argentina i think
Diamela Eltit, (novels, mostly), from Chile
José Donoso from Chile (MUST READ "El obsceno pájaro de la noche", and he's not in the Boom group, let alone in the postone).


And for you guys who think that Nicanor Parra is godtier, well, is not. Most of his work until the mid 70's is really good, but then he lost the "anti-poet" title. All the things that he was "anti" about were erased because we was aknowledged by the academy like an "anti-poet". If you don't consider the paratext in his work after the mid 70's you only get "decent" poetry at most.

Now, if you wanna read some ubergodtier in chilean poetry you gotta read either Enrique Lihn or Rodrigo Lira (both dead).

I'm from Chile.

Excuse my plebtier english.

>>2620525
what does 'hipster' even mean anyway

>>2620562

Hipster: person who likes things that you don't or that you haven't heard of.

I don't know what you're looking for, but I'm reading "Las venas abiertas de latinoamerica" and it's a good book.

>>2620586
If I like things that I don't like and haven't heard of, can I be a hipster, too?
