Goodreads "Latin American Fiction"

"Fiction by writers of Latin America and of Latin-American descent." (Goodreads)
Books that seemingly have not been translated into English have been entered with their Spanish or Portuguese title. Also no need to point out to me books that are not fiction.
Update: Ah! The simple pleasures of life. Several books that I kept on the list despite there being no English translation available have been checked off in the Spanish original, presumably by either native Spanish speakers or people who have made the effort to learn Spanish. Too bad so few people are doing this challenge.
