I happened to get this book by Isabel Allende for Christmas from a cousin who spent a lot of time in Chile. After buying a few of the books for class I was surprised to find that Open Veins of Latin America has a foreword by the same author. Though I'm only a quarter of the way through the book I can already tell it's going to be one of my favorites, and it is a great example of the kind of magical or mythical realism that is popular in Latin American literature. I'm really glad I started it going into LAST, and I thought I'd recommend it to anyone who is looking for a fun read that might pique their interest in Latin America. Here are some book reviews on Amazon if anybody is interested.
