i was also going to recommend garcia-marquez, but your spanish needs to be very, very good to read it untranslated.

probably, but if he's reading borges, then it's not like it's much farther. and stretches are good for vocab and comprehension

Matute - Primera Memoria
Unamuno - San Manuel Bueno Martir
Federica Garcia Lorca - Bodas de Sangre/La Casa de Bernarda Alba

Difficult texts are fine. That's where I'm going to learn even if I have to spend the 50% of my time reading a dictionary to figure out what the hell it means. Definitely don't hold things back because they are too difficult.
