Mexico News Daily is just one option for Spanish-challenged expatriates and others with an interest in reading about Mexico: the Scottish Book Trust has come up with 10 others.
The 10 options offer readers the opportunity to take a tour through Mexico with some “fantastic works,” says the Trust: all are novels written by Mexican writers and translated into English.
This country has been producing some very good work, it says, but is often seen as an after-thought in Latin American literature. Colombia has Gabriel García Marquez and Brazil boasts Paulo Coehlo, for example. Literature by Mexican writers, on the other hand, instead of hitting the Engish-speaking world with a huge splash, produces just a quiet ripple.
The 10 recommended books are described as “wonderful novels that you should get to know.” Here, then, to help make a bit of a splash, are the books in question, along with some descriptions from the Trust and others. - See more at: http://mexiconewsdaily.com/mexicolife/mexican-literature-is-often-an-after-thought/#sthash.ycXAITnB.dpuf
