Spanish Literature
adverbadjective: doesn’t get enough credit. I’ll forever love the grit of Hemingway, the modernity or Wallace, the depth of Shakespeare, and/or the honesty of Bukowski… but there is nothing like Márquez, Cisneros, Bolaño, Paz, Esquivel, or even Cervantes. These authors have enriched my life.

I’ve had this said to me too many times.
