great list of 100 best spanish novels in last 25 years

It says something to the effect: "the link is not working."

Was there any mention of the Javiers Marias and Garcia Sanchez?

This link should work:

and then scroll to 29 March-2007 entry...this gives you another linkage to hte list.

Marias gets a few mentions I do not remember whether Sanchez is there...by the way the complete list is in Spanish but easy to figure out.

I saw Marias' Heart so White listed, but meager know-how with Spanish and ADD kept me from discovering Garcia Sanchez, whose The Others is strange and wonderful and all too brief.

I discovered that University of Texas Press has a wonderful edition of Pedro Páramo in their Texas Pan American Literature in Translation Series. I've been looking for a hardback copy of this book for a long time with no luck in the US or Mexico. Great book, great edition, and it's on sale right now!

j- thanks for the tip...i noticed what looked like another interesting book:
And Let The Earth Tremble At Its Centers by Gonzalo Celorio. In that it takes place in the center of Mexico City a place I, my wife and son transversed for a week and, at times, felt lost in a maze of markets teeming with humanity, the book, immediately, caught my fancy.

Is anyone in the group familiar with this title ?

I noticed that one too and am seriously considering getting it. I'm on a Mexican literature tear right now. I've just read Pedro Páramo and Into the Beautiful North in English and am in the process of reading Como Agua para Chocolate en español. So the Celorio book would fit right in.

By the way, I searched every bookstore I found on my recent trip to Querétaro, Mexico for Roberto Bolaño en español and found nada. I'm looking for Putas Asesinas as that is one of the few I haven't read by him.

i am jealous about your Spanish fluency - i keep telling myself that "someday" i need to get serious, buckle down and learn the language already.
