Many many years ago, when I was obsessively reading Latin American literature, Guillermo Cabrera Infante's Three Trapped Tigers stood out as quite exceptional.

vivastory @Cinfhen @TrishB Infante has been described as the Cuban Joyce, but I actually found him to be a real pleasure to read. Although he tackled serious political issues, there's a lot of fun word play. 5y
batsy @vivastory @Emilymdxn I took a screenshot of your amazing recs 😆 5y
Liz_M I didn't enjoy reading this, but I bumped it a start because I was having fun tracking how many 1001 list books and authors he references 😁 5y
vivastory @Liz_M When did you first read the 1,001 list? 5y
Liz_M I found the 1001 list in 2007 and have been obsessively reading from it ever since. I read the tagged book in 2010, after finding it in my favorite used bookstore. 5y
