Hi, I am wondering if there are still books from this list that have not yet been translated into English? If you could recommend a few, I would truly appreciate it. I am an aspiring literary translator, and I have been researching contemporary best-selling authors in Latin America and Spain, but so many of them have been translated already! Thanks again.

Phil & Paterna, thanks for the recommendations. I’ve been particularly wanting to read Piglia for some time now.

“Plata Quemada” itÂ´s a great book. The language that Piglia used in that book itÂ´s impresive. I stell remenber that story, a true story.

El Vuelo de la Reina, by Tomas Eloy Martinez, at #48, is the best novel I’ve read (in any language) in the last decade. It’s also the darkest, taking the anti-hero concept to new extremes.
