It should be "WHO is your favorite author.." But I live in America and my favorite American authors are Langston Hughes and Maya Angelou.

I'm from Mexico and my favorite author is José Emilio Pacheco, he's just the perfect example of the mexican culture, his writings are fluent, simple but beautiful, and you can just enjoy how he describes and portrays mexican culture in every word

I'm from Georgia and my favorite author is Nodar Dumbadze because he makes me laugh and cry and feel alive.

My favourite author from Finland is Edith Södergran. She was a poet and wrote some truly amazing poetry during her short life. She's really interesting as a person too and kind of a tragic figure, I'm reading her biography at the moment.

I'm from Brazil. In poetry, it is João Cabral de Melo Neto. He is definitely a wordsmith, capable of endowing the most humble words of the language with immense semantic power. In prose, it has to be Machado de Assis, the nineteenth-century author who, had he written in a major language, would be on a par with Dostoievsky.
