Top 25 Spanish novels 1989-2014 ?

       In El Mundo they selected 1989-2014: las 25 mejores novelas -- the top 25 Spanish-Spanish (by authors from Spain, written in Spanish (not Catalan, Basque, etc.)) novels of the past quarter century -- not quite one for every year, but trying to cover the whole period
       With two of the top three novels, and another at number eight, Rafael Chirbes looks like the leading author of his times -- perhaps surprising to US/UK audiences, who haven't seen anything of his translated in ages. En la orilla is coming out in English (presumably as 'On the Shore') from New Directions in the US and Harvill Secker in the UK, but as the Anagrama foreign rights page shows, Chirbes is definitely appreciated more elsewhere. (Three of his books are under review at the complete review -- including one available in English, Mimoun --, but he never really won me over -- but then I haven't looked at any of his books in close to fifteen years, so maybe the newer stuff is much stronger .....)
       Several of the top twenty-five are under review at the complete review:

• The Heretic, by Miguel Delibes
  
  
• Montano (US title: Montano's Malady) by Enrique Vila-Matas
  
  
• Soldiers of Salamis by Javier Cercas
  
  
• The Marx Family Saga by Juan Goytisolo

       Hey, they picked the right Goytisolo title -- though they could well have picked more -- (there's one by his brother, too), so it might serve as a reasonably reliable guide to some of the best Spanish fiction of the past twenty-five years.
