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

*El Dorado: A Reader* juxtaposed with *Valverde’s Gold* for a thrilling tale of adventure, riches, & lust for the unknown beside a critique of extractive American colonial ideations. it’s about balance 😌 and mania 🤑
