Pessoa and Eça De Queiroz are quite known in Argentina at least.

Borges liked Eça De Queiroz quite a lot.

---durante una conferencia sobre la poesía de Borges en el Dickinson College de Pennsylvania, en abril de 1983, un eminente crítico español le preguntó a Borges cómo podía afirmar que Eça de Queiroz era el mejor escritor peninsular del siglo XIX cuando en ese siglo hubo en España cuatro grandes escritores. Borges, traviesamente, preguntó cómo se llamaban. "Larra, Bécquer, Galdós y Clarín", respondió el crítico español. Borges comentó: "Mi sentido pésame, entonces".---

Saramago not so much, probably because he was a commie, and leftist literature was so popular here in the 70s that we are burned out of it. And people are cynical with regards to leftist literature coming from first world countries.


The only 2 Brazilians writers I know are Coelho and Vasconcelos.

Saramago is a joy to read
