I am American, but my favorite author is Argentinian: Samanta Schweblin. Four out of five of her works have been translated to English but you can easily find the original Spanish texts. Distancia de rescate (Fever Dream), Kentukis (Little Eyes), Siete casas vacías (Seven Empty Houses), and Pájaros en la boca y otros cuentos (Mouthful of Birds) are the ones I’ve read (in English) and can strongly recommend. Her books are often disturbing in some way, with stream of consciousness/hallucinatory narration. She dives into little moments in people’s lives and explores their humanity.
