     Eso nos impide diferenciar entre posibles tendencias preocupantes asumidas por novelistas consagrados y probables despistes ocasionales de escritores intrascendentes.

     This impedes us from distinguishing between possible troubling tendencies taken on by established novelists and the occasional absent-mindedness of insignificant writers.
