Latin American Fiction in English Translation

For those interested in Latin American fiction, benwaugh posted the following link on the "South American Fiction-Argentine Writers" group: http://www.ccsf.edu/Library/latambib.pdf . The document is a 140 page country -by-country list of all translated works entitled "Latin American Fiction in Translation: A Bibliography", compiled by João C. Barretto in 2004.

I came across this forthcoming anthology in the Oxford University Press Catalog recently:



The Oxford Book of Latin American Poetry: A Bilingual Anthology
by Cecilia Vicuna (Editor), Ernesto Livon Grosman (Editor)
Just under 600 pages, due out in July of this year.

ben waugh's link is a treaure trove that i have bookmarked for future reference.

If you can lay your hands on one, there is a book - Latin American Literature In English Translation: An Annotated Bibliography by Bradley A. Shaw from 1976. It is dated but not a bad bibliography... Maybe try abebooks.com

I recently received a review copy of Tyrant Banderas by Ramon del Valle-Inclan.

*You can really tell the age of that bibliography. Roberto Bolano only has one citation. Despite its age, it is an invaluable resource.
