I read a lot from the Middle East and India, but last year I read a few memoirs from Africa. You should check out Adichie. Fiction, but very good. Fun Home was my last book book by a gay author, although I don't pay attention to sexuality either. Very good book, though!Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6253232837359768277.post-76792591802892989242009-04-28T18:33:00.000+02:002009-04-28T18:33:00.000+02:00Yay, so glad you did this.

If you want to try more Latino/a authors I highly recommend some of the earlier Isabel Allende novels like House of the Spirits and The Stories of Eva Luna. Gabriel Garcia Marquez is also wonderful and he's got a short story collection, Strange Pilgrims, which I think is fantastic.Ilianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026669671843769219noreply@blogger.com
