As these are authors, "passions" or "interest" would seem to suit better, but which would depend on the level of intensity required. Bear in mind that the Spanish "filia" can carry a wide range - "afición o amor", so unless the context elsewhere tells you which way to go, perhaps the toss of a coin would have to decide.
