Massive European immigration including immigration from the upper-class. That guarantees a national literature as a near-immediate transplant of Old Continent literature. Same with the US.
Not that non-Europeans can't write, but when they can their take on literature tend to be different enough that we don't pay attention to it. Meanwhile a guy born in Montevideo or Sao Paulo but whose grandfather was a French of German aristocrat is likely to shit out European-style literature.

He was culturally/ethnically French (French Diplomat dad) but he spent important time (childhood) in Uruguay, which is registered in his imagery (shorelines). South America can be proud to have inflenced such edgy prose/poetry.
