Lark, Sabato is considered a great author… not by me. The truth is I never manage to finish any of his books. Look for “Sobre Heroes y tumbas” his latest book is “Antes del fin”.  
Finally a confession. I am not a good patriot, the literature that I am less familiar with is precisely argentinian. I have to read Cortazar, Eloy Martinez, Puig, Arlt, and so many others
