Only a few can write fiction with this calmness and grace in their language. Every word feels like a spell by Cortazar getting you into his world. I’m still not sure which one was my favorite but Letter to a Lady in Paris is just crazy

Only 40 or so pages in but my god, his writing is divine. I can see why García Márquez thought he was the best Latin American author. Every page is both delicious and unsettling.

took a class on it and have been obsessed ever since! a phenomenal era + region for lit makes a banging canon. lispector, borges, bolaño, paz, cortazar, fuentes, carpentier, neruda, i could go on and on but it’s really a stacked list. i would never be an academic bc that shit sounds hard but to talk about these authors all day…maybe i would be more ok with no health insurance (but fr adjuncts i respect you a lot 🙏🙏🙏). if your local bookstore has a latin american section i highly recommend perusing

i think everybody hates small talk, but everybody is also very different from each other, I guess it’s a matter of being understanding with the person or people you’re talking to at the moment. But I do think that personal questions and talking about real life experiences is what gets conversations going, it’s also what makes you remember people and want to reconnect with them. when talking to somebody new there’s nothing better to a first impression than someone who engages and listens. We get what we give so might as well give as much as we can.
