I've always wanted to learn Spanish well enough to read Marquez and Allende in their native language.. But I'm really bad at languages!! My brain just doesn't pick it up at all!
Dunno about your comment about Allende.. I think alot of what people think of as her political leanings are because of her Uncle.. which obviously wasn't her fault at all.
I guess that when you're living in the kind of political situations she was in, it can't help but be carried through into your fiction.. After all, your own life experiences are what molds you as a writer I suppose.
Would be really interested in reading your book if it gets translated to English.. *g* And I'd expect a signed copy of course ;)
