Mario Vargas Llosa recommends
 Turing's Delirium (2006) Edmundo Paz Soldán "One of the most important Latin American authors of the new generation." |  See How Much I Love You (2009) Luis Leante "Wholly entertaining... a novel that hooks you from the first line... the reader lives the tragedy of a people who have been systematically marginalized and sacrificed by history." |  Not Art (2010) Péter Esterházy "One of the most interesting and original writers of our time." | |
 The Absent Sea (2011) Carlos Franz "In The Absent Sea, Carlos Franz tells a fascinating story which is at once an investigation into the depths of human cruelty and compassion on an occasion of historical violence. Written and constructed with a masterful hand, it is one of the most original novels that modern Latin American literature has produced." |  The Time in Between (2011) María Dueñas "A wonderful novel, with intrigue, love, and mystery." |  Purgatory (2011) Tomás Eloy Martínez "A master novel. I got choked up, I suffered, I enjoyed." | |
