You have received insightful recommendations anon, and I'm quite happy for that. One should pursue the same mastery in writing, reading, and speaking a second or third language so I wish you success.
Now, the following list contains shorts stories, which are in fact, a very helpful format to re-read and disect a second language, and the following stories may not be the best ever written, but they accomplish this approach of various styles on writing.
>Continuidad de los parques - Julio Cortázar. (ARG)
Shortest story on the list, about 3-4 paragraphs long, can be perplexing, but just enough to make you re-read all clear actions it contains.
>Chac Mool - Carlos Fuentes (MEX)
Another one filled with very clear actions, thoughts and places, in this short story we venture into supernatural events, it's a short story where you can search all places and signs mentioned a get glimpse of the mexican landscape depicted.
>Baby H. P - Juan José Arreola (MEX)
This short story is written like if it was a televesion ad promoting a new product, so you'll get lots of descriptions of materials, objects and systems, quite a funny one.
>Francisca y la Muerte - Onelio Jorge Cardoso (CUB)
These one is quite tricky, it's aimed at children, but the language gets slightly poetic.
>El eclipse - Augusto Monterroso (HON)
Monterroso is widely known as a writer capable of creating long stories within short ones, this story is a nice example of it, the sentences are different from the first mentioned on the list, less descriptive, but precise.
>El cambiazo - Mario Benedetti (URG)
Probably the short story with more slang on the list, reading it is quite a challenge because at some point the people sing and the vowels are repeated, emulating the sound. The story jumps between tv programs, verses for a song and local protest.
>Semana de colores - Elena Garro (MEX)
Abstract, unsettling and bizarre, this text gets a lot into surreal imagery and into obscure territory, the line between violence and magic is mixed here.
All this short stories were written throught the XX century and should be easy to find in the original spanish.
