Well this is awesome for me; I’ve been studying Spanish for a few years, and want to read fiction, but jeez, A Hundred Years of Solitude sure is difficult. I love SF and generally want to read works original in the language.

We’ll see how the genre pans out, but regardless, I’m happy with those offerings that debut in Spanish.

Well, sure. Get a book with a plot.

Yeah, there’s that, stuff just keeps happening, repeating, but also, the magical realism, stuff happens, and I’m like “did I read that right”? Plus the vocab is really broad.

Although the beautiful prose of Marquez comes through even to me, and I doubt such literary style will be found in Mesopunk.

Hoping a native Spanish speaker can add to this. I don't like YA-style books, and would love to know if there's a quality sci-fi or fantasy with prose like A Hundred Years of Solitude (like Lord of the Rings does for English)

Quite - venga, hispanohablantes, dígannos!
