My boyfriend likes Marquez but he never told me what he writes about??? What's so great about his books? Are they really worth reading? Dixie, you and I have similar taste ;p Did you enjoy that book?

[jrkp]

Yes, I like some of his novels, especially "Cronica de una muerte anunciada" (Chronicle of a Death Foretold) and "El general en su laberinto" (The General in His Labyrinth).

He doesn´t write about an especific subject, I mean, you can't label his work as you can do it with others author, for example Stephen King or Agatha Cristhie. He's written about love, adventure, dreams, etc... He's written biografies as well. The only thing I know is that He's one of the biggest exponent of the "magic realism" in latin America. That's an literary trend which tend to present fantastic events as ordinary ones.....

What's so great about his books?

Gee, That's depend on the literary taste you have and the way that they had been translated. In Spanish, they are good, but in other languages, I don't know.....

Are they really worth reading?

Sure, why not. But, If you make up your mind and decided to read one of his books, you should start reading the smaller ones, such as "Love in the Time of Cholera" or "Chronicle of a Death Foretold". 100 years of solicitude could be pretty long.....

I did at some points, but like I said I was pretty relieved when I finished.

Gabriel Garci'a Marquez are a pride for us the Latin Americans, his form to write is the source of inspiration of many people, within them I am included, nevertheless to many people does not like as he writes

I just finished reading the book "Chronicle of a Death Foretold" (Crónica de una muerte anunciada) and found it interesting.

Wow!! That's great!! I love it! I like to discuss about " Cronica de una muerte anunciada" other issue too. I think that one teaches us a lot. At the begining it was difficult for me to undertand the book and at the end I didn't know If Santiago Nasar was Angela's lover.
