Chiming in as F!S Resident Chilean to say I absolutely despise Isabel Allende, it fills me with shame to know she's the second-most well known of our writers 8Db But, as for the communism themes in the book - no, that part wasn't thrown in for shock value. Here, have a basic link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1973_Chilean_coup_d'%C3%A9tat

The 11 September 1973 Chilean coup d'état was a watershed event in both the Cold War and the history of Chile. Following an extended period of social and political unrest between the conservative-dominated Congress of Chile and the socialist President Salvador Allende, as well as economic warfare ordered by U.S. President Richard Nixon, Allende was overthrown by the armed forces and national police. <- President Allende was her uncle.

He has better views on queer issues by the time she wrote Eva Luna, though, but she's still mediocre o/

Don't apologize for the fact that outside your own country people have a completely biased view of your authors: I think we all have similar experiences as yours. And by we, I mean anyone from a non-English speaking country.

I mean, having our greatest and best authors be completely unknown while the ones which are boring or mediocre are famous for one reason or another. Usually better marketing or translation or whatever.

I can't say I'm glad you know this literary pain too, but I'm glad we've got the camaraderie at least, anon. Thank you. /)_=

Isabel Allende got well known both because she did Magical Realism (very poorly), and because she has a greaaaat agent, living in the USA as she does. For example, she even got paid to write Zorro fanfic and publish it as an official thing.

Meanwhile the great authors here publish almost indie, unless they're lucky to get known in other parts of Latin America (like Donoso and Lemebel); but never get translted into English. The exception being if hey're great, globetrotters AND very dead, like Bolaño 8|||

If she's the second best known, I pray to god that Neruda is the first. Unless you're only looking at fiction and not poetry.
