Dom Casmurro by Machado de Assis is a novel by one of the greatest Brazilian writers. Also The Lost Steps by Alejo Carpentier who was Cuban/French. Broad and alien is the world by Ciro Alegria is, I believe, Peruvian. I would check to see if Manuel Puig, Mario Vargas Llosa ...
Dom Casmurro by Machado de Assis.
Edit: Oh, sorry, I didn't notice this was about contemporary authors, which he isn't.
Hi everyone, this is my first message to the group. I am looking for a good translation of Dom Casmurro by Machado de Assis. I am Brazilian, but this would be a gift for an American friend. Any thoughts? Thanks!
