MADRID (Source: The Guardian & Agencies) "From Borges to Bolano, the Spanish language has given us some of the most beloved writers of the 20th and 21st centuries," said Granta. "But as the reach of Spanish-language culture extends far beyond Spain and Latin America, and the US tilts towards a majority Hispanic population, it is time to ask who is next in this exciting tradition." So says The Guardian in its Books section. From Argentinian author Federico Falco to Chilean poet and novelist Alejandro Zambra and Spain's Pablo Gutiérrez, the literary magazine unveiled the 22 writers under the age of 35 to make it into its list of the best of young Spanish-language novelists in Madrid this morning. Of the 22, 8 are from Argentina and 7 from Spain, and the rest from Chile, Bolivia, Uruguay, Colombia and Peru.
