Were all of these originally written in Spanish?
A couple of them were written in Catalan originally! But I included them to show all the variety Spanish (and Catalan) authors have to offer :)
Thanks for this list, I’m just returning from a trip to Spain and it’s inspired me to try more Spanish lit!
Thats so cool!! I hope you had a great time in Spain. I really recommend you Bad Habit as it deals with the struggles of the lgbt community and working class in Spain after the dictatorship. Truly heartbreaking yet amazingly beautiful book
