3. Some examples that come to mind are Alice Walker's The Color Purple, John living's The World According to Garp, John Barth's The Sotweed Factor, Isaac Goldemberg's The Fragmented Life of Don Jacobo Lerner (published in English two years before the Spanish version appeared in 1978), Harriet Doerr's Stones for Ibarra, Alice Hoffman's White Horses, Tony Morrison's Tar Baby and Song of Solomon, and Michael Cunningham's Golden States.

4. For example, one can now speak of Alejo Carpentier and fellow Cuban Reinaldo Arenas, of Carlos Fuentes and his compatriot Gustavo Sainz, of José Donoso and Antonio Skármeta of Chile, or of Colombia's Gabriel García Márquez and Rafael Humberto Moreno Durán, to mention just a few of the relatively newer associations.
