A blog novel called M·s respeto, que soy tu madre, by Hern·n Casciar, was named best blog by Deutsche Welle. My hopelessness at Spanish means I can’t figure out whether it’s this site or more likely this more bloggy looking site, but translating from the French, the title means “some respect, I’m your mother!” and it’s being published as a book in multiple languages. Which is always a little disappointing – I mean it’s great that the author’s getting paid, but I like literature that is content to be online. Anyway, might be a great blog.
