have you read 100 years of solitude or the funerals of big mom or any other latimoamerican author?

Question

this is the deal Im bored out of my mind and I need to practice my english, so will you have a nice chat with me? and if not just tell me wich was your favorite book of a latinoamerican author and why

Answer 1

I have read "100 Years of Solitude" and for some inexplicable reason, named my daughter Remedios. I have never dared even to mention the book to her.
I had a friend who grew up in the back country of El Salvador, and I was interested that her stories seemed so similar to those of Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I heard of visitations by the devil and by Jesus, objects that move supernaturally, snakes that eat people, massacres, stolen children, etc. She came from a magical and scary place. When she came to the US, she was unfamiliar with our autumn. She wondered why nobody cut down all the dead trees!

Answer 2

Me encataría hablar contigo.

Bueno, es muy díficil elegir uno. Me encanta el realismo mágico de Gabriel García Márquez (lloré cuando lei El Coronel No Tiene Quien Le Escriba) y diría que mi libro favorito sería 100 años de Soledad. Pero también están los enredos kafkianos y autoburla del magistral Jorge Luis Borges, la realidad de la muerte y resurección de la cultura latinoamericana en la trilogia de Miguel Otero Silva y la nostalgia regionalista de Rómulo Gallegos

I would love to talk to you

Well, is really hard to pick one. I love the Magic Realism of Gabriel García Marquéz (I cried when I read No One Writes to the Colonel) and I would say that 100 years of Solute is my favorite book. But there is also the kafkiesque confusion and selfmockery of the great Jorge Luis Borges, the death and resurrection of the Latin American culture in the Miguel Otero Silva's trilogy and the nostalgic regionalism of Rómulo Gallegos

Answer 3

Hi - My favorite Latin American author is the late Carlos Casteneda. His Don Juan books were positively amazing and I miss them terribly. He was actually born in Peru but lived in Los Angeles. He died in 1998.

I also love Jorge Luis Borges' story The Lottery in Babylon. A wonderful story written in 1941. Borges was born in Argentina but lived in Switzerland.

I have read 100 Years of Solitude and it is a wonderful book too.

Good luck to you. Pax - C.
