He is one of my alltime favourites - not so much because of the 'magic realism' involved in his writings which is merely a technique, imo; he has startling insights into our psyche which are expressed through wry humour. And he brings in, his vast scholarship of the world and its affairs to whatever he writes - right down to refereces to madras in A'l mutasim! His Ficciones is definitely mind boggling in scope and depth...
Incidentally, the best translation that I read of JLB in Tamil - is that of Circular Ruins (Vattach-chidaivugal - translated by Dharumu Sivaram).
