neither does me. but it's not his fault!

i mentioned him because of technical... what's the word... elements w/ synth's novel story

and synth btw do you read spanish?

Yeah, I love reading Neruda, and Lorca in Spanish. The words flow better than the translation.

oh man let me recommend you some fiction writers. no fucking drustore realism like gringo books (*chuckles*)

you game?

Yeah.

very body should read some satre and celine

i like pulp novels.

well these are the superclassics, the sacred cows, the ones you can't miss. plus a couple of extra very good ones.
let's go with short stories. i'll just mention authors,you find what you can-- i'm sure in l.a. there's gotta be a place

jorge luis borges (best... ever....)
julio cortázar
juan rulfo
horacio quiroga
gabriel garcía márquez (mostly a novelist but chkout "ojos de perro azul")
josé emilio pacheco
julio ramón ribeyro
josé donoso
alejo carpentier
juan bosch


check out the names in amazon maybe or barnes & noble online, often you can find...

I will get Borges, cause I always end up in his section.

borges rules all, but he's very "brainy"

if you're interested in queer lit, check out reynaldo arenas, manuel puig, josé lezama lima, severo sarduy, & there are more, newer ones, but i'm a bit out of touch.

Ah I'm not really into queer lit. It is always the same plot. "Oh I suffer coming out, I got beat, blah blah blah." But I did see reynaldo arenas bio-pic.

fuck no man, you have NO CLUE, latin americans aren't concerned with pedestrian realities like gringo confessionals & petty miseries, oh no!!

we are concerned with the imagination

read please severo sarduy's "cobra" & have your mind forever blown.

you really have no idea what awaits you...

I will take your word for it. Because I am wrong with so many things. That's what I like with writers, using the imagination.

manuel puig too-- you ever see "kiss of the spider woman"?? that was based oh a novel by him. amazing movie too. i think you'll love it.

Never seen that movie. I have never heard of any of these authors.

now you have :p

& by all means enjoy!

Thanks, Well I must go, I have to finish studying. And go to sleep.
