El Pais (Uruguay) - The greatest novels of the 20th Century
Found on LibraryThing:
"I found this list a few years ago somewhere on the internet, and saw it again the other day. It is a survey done by the Uruguayan newspaper El País some time around 2000:
THEGREATESTNOVELS OF THE 20TH CENTURY
Motivated by this special issue devoted to the Novel, the cultural supplement of El País organized a survey amongst critics and writers both Uruguayan and foreign, asking for their opinion concerning the greatest novels of the past hundred years. Each person was sent a brief questionnaire which asked the following:
1. What, in your opinion, are the five greatest Latin American novels of the 20th Century?
2. And what are the five greatest foreign novels (outside of Latin America)?"
The top ten Latin American novels are listed first, followed by the the top ten foreign novels.
