Are there any noteworthy Mexican books? Like something that instills pride in the hearts of the reader. Like a brown, short, and hairy war and peace
one of my favorites is Los de abajo by Mariano Azuela; I'd also recommend El laberinto de la soledad by Octavio Paz
there's quite a few, but those two are a good starting point

If you are planning on reading Los de abajo, a fantastic book btw, I would also recommend picking Tropa Vieja from Francisco L. Urquizo. They are both set during the Revolution but the former follows a group of revolutionaries and the other a batallion of government forces. You can get a nice overview of how was the life for both sides during the mexican rev.

Why were Mexicans literati so elitist? Bolano said they would treat him like crap and never accepted him.
any slice of life mexican lit from say 1950 and on?
