At the beginning, I was a little confused about that too because I wanted to know if Santiago Nasar was guilty or not. Then I realized that detail wasn´t important to get the mesage of the book. At the end It´s not important if santiago was the first man in Angela´s life, the important thing to understand is that everybody knew what was gonna happen and nobody did anything to stop it. My personal opinion is that he wasn´t guilty, but the key to understand that book is focusing our attention on the reaction of the people...

You´re absolutely right, That´s why I find that book fascinating... To me, the main message can be resumed in one sentence: "Misfortune makes us invisible". Sadly, that´s a big piece of human nature, which is perfectly described by Garcia Marquez in this book...

As you said, I´d like to discuss about it as well

P.S: Sorry for replying so late....

I read him, he is very representative, of folklore of Colombia, in his place of birth he is called " Don Premio

I dont read "Memorias de mis Putas" How is it

Cien años de soledad

i've read it
for truth,i don't like it

Gabriel Garcia Marquez is an excellent author! Tell me what your favorite book that has been written by him.. :D

I like very much!!! Is an excellent author!!!!!

She doesn't seem to be an English author. has she written anything in English. I wonder

I've just read one of his books: Cien años de soledad. I brought it out of curiosity because as you know it's a classic already and wanted to know what the fuss was about

I read it in Spanish and I didn't like it.
