Rita Guibert is best known as the author of the critically acclaimed[2] SEVEN VOICES Seven Latin American Writers Talk to Rita Guibert.[3][3][4] The Seven Voices are in-depth tape recorded interviews of Pablo Neruda, Jorge Luis Borges, Miguel Angel Asturias, Octavio Paz, Julio Cortázar, Gabriel García Márquez and Guillermo Cabrera Infante. The Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded to Pablo Neruda in 1971, Miguel Angel Asturias in 1967, Octavio Paz in 1990 and Gabriel García Márquez in 1982. Specific interviews of Gabriel García Márquez and Jorge Luis Borges conducted by Rita Guibert including text that was not included in SEVEN VOICES Seven Latin American Writers Talk to Rita Guibert [3] were also reprinted.[5][6][7][8][9]

She translated in Spanish Children's Books for Random House,[19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] Farrar Straus and Giroux,[27][28][29][30][31][32] E.P.
