Are there any other Argentinian writers you know that perhaps deserve more recognition in the anglosphere? I’ve read Borges and Cortazar—both floored me and left a lasting impression, they make me curious to learn about some of the other great authors from your country

I would suggest Ernesto Sabato, mainly his book essays. Another member of the proud 1900s writers.

Adolfo Bioy Casares, who co-wrote books with Borges. And Borges himself was a fan of Evaristo Carriego.

One of my favorite things Borges does is interweave reality and fiction. For the longest time, I thought Casares was a fictional character. Nope, he’s a real person.

Morel's Invention is very good, I highly recommend it.
