Does anyone hhee have any idea whether El obsceno párajo de la noche is worth reading? It caught my eye when i was looking up Chilean literature. I figure it might be good since harry b likes it.

guyana is a tiny country and it probably hardly has any other world known showplaces. some jungle, some sea, some ordinary south american town as a capital...

Borges es muy aburrido. Es el ejemplo de lo que detesto en literatura; hablar de literatura.
"La literatura es otra forma de felicidad" Sí, claro, hombre.

I like the few works of Cortazar I've read so far as well as Marquez, specially "Chronicle of a Death Foretold" I haven't read "A hundred years of solitude yet", though.

The base of our culture comes from the spanish, yes, but we created a completely different culture and identity through the years. I'm pretty sure works like A hundred years of solitude aren't a copy or even resemble the genuine stuff you talk about.
