Good job, Everyone! This can be a tricky challenge.
My favorite South American author is Jorges Borges. Have you read any of his stuff, Rosemarie?I also love Haruki Murakami from Japan. I was obsessed with his novels and short stories for awhile. So, I've read almost everything he has written. I'll need to revisit soon to see if his style is still as delightfully eccentric to me.
