Well kind anons, I got an issue about latin american literature, and it's that I just can't get myself into it.

I'm latin myself, but I don't find myself reading authors like Garcia Marquez or Vargas Llosa.

I've had some experiences with Cortazar, the problem is that he is waaaay too cheesy for me, Bestiary and Hopscotch are the prime examples of that.

I'm stuck with Kerouak, Whitman, Dickens, Conrad, Fitzgerald, and more or less Murakami, and here comes my question, Do you guys know any latin american authors related or influenced by those kind authors? or at least with more "classic" feeling overall?

I was thinking about Saramago with Blindness but I wanna hear some opinions.

Thanks a lot guys.

Check out Paulo Coelho, he is Brasilian I think and his books are alright. Especially Manuscript found in Accra, it reads like scripture (although I only read a translation)

Oh no... not Coelho

Most of his books are quite lame and lacks of good narrative. I got one of him, and... well.. trust me, not even latin american readers like him.

But thanks for your sugestion, anyone else?
