About This Book

Read full description

Gabriel García Márquez is one of the most influential writers of our time, with a unique literary creativity rooted in the history of his native Colombia. This revised and expanded edition of a classic work is the first book of criticism to consider in detail the totality of García Márquez’s magnificent oeuvre. In a beautifully written examination, Gene Bell-Villada traces the major forces that have shaped the novelist and describes his life, his personality, and his politics. For this edition, Bell-Villada adds new chapters to cover all of García Márquez’s fiction since 1988, from The General in His Labyrinth through Memories of My Melancholy Whores , and includes sections on his memoir, Living to Tell the Tale , and his journalistic account, News of a Kidnapping . Moreover, new information about García Márquez’s biography and artistic development make this the most comprehensive account of his life and work available.
