WIT: Spanish

This post is dedicated to some books I’ve read and loved originally written in Spanish! I tried to choose books by authors from multiple different countries (because hello colonialism 👋🏼) but still think I could expand. What other books would you add to this list?

In the realm of literature, Spanish authors have given voice to diverse narratives that reflect the richness of various cultures. Notably, the essay collection 'Connecting Lighthouses' by Jazmina Barrera and Christina Massweeney explores themes of human connection through evocative imagery of lighthouses. Similarly, the short story collection 'Things We Lost in the Fire' by Mariana Enriquez delves into feminist body horror, juxtaposing disturbing themes with the intricacies of modern life. For those who enjoy thrilling plots, the vampire novel 'Thirst' by Marina Yuszczuk intricately weaves dual timelines, captivating readers with its suspenseful storytelling. In addition to these works, 'Dogs of Summer' by Andrea Abreu highlights the complexities of female friendship within a summer setting, offering a profound exploration of relationships. As we expand our literary horizons, embracing the voices of Latinx authors and translated literature is vital for understanding their cultural insights. This rich tapestry of stories invites readers to connect with the diverse narratives present in Spanish literature, encouraging discussions and recommendations within the #SpanishBooks and #WomenInTranslation communities.
