Barbara Kingsolver has a book of short stories.

Washington, DC by Gore Vidal is pretty good.

Yes. What a great book ... Spanish lit is pathetically underappreciated.

There are two years in my high school system that aren't dedicated to the study of British or American lit. One of those years is an overview where everything must be taught; one of those is specifically world lit.

I never once read a book by a Spanish author.

Lorca is a good spanish author, but he's more of a playwright/poet. I studied Blood Wedding for A level theatre, and its kind of long winded but it's bizzare and beautiful..
