But I left them off the list. They’re worth reading (even must-reads), but they’re also easily discovered. There is such a wealth of fantastic literature coming out from Argentina to highlight — whether they be modern treasures or classics that are lesser known in the U.S. Writing these lists is a joy: while the search can sometimes be tough, it gives me an opportunity — an excuse — to dig deep into some incredible books that I might have otherwise, tragically, not discovered. So read on, and enjoy. These 15 Argentinian books have been translated from Spanish into English and available in the U.S. And what a joy that is: they are ready to be in your hands, shocking you, scaring you, impacting you, soothing you, as you bury yourself in their pages. Please note that while I took great care to list content warnings when I could, sometimes things fall through the cracks. Please do additional research on the recommended titles if needed. Do you know of more fantastic Argentinian literature that I should check out? Let me know on Twitter.
