Product Details

Praise

“Exquisitely harrowing … very strange and brilliantly conceived … a sort of metaphysical murder mystery.” —The New York Times Book Review

“This investigation of an ancient murder takes on the quality of a hallucinatory exploration, a deep, groping search into the gathering darkness of human intentions for a truth that continually slithers away.” —The New York Review of Books

“Brilliant … A small masterpiece … we can almost see, smell and hear Garcia Marquez’s Caribbean backwater and its inhabitants.” —San Francisco Chronicle

“As pungent and memorable as a sharp spice, an examination of the nature of complicity and fate … an exquisite performance.” —The Christian Science Monitor

A tour de force … In prose that is spare yet heavy with meaning, Garcia Marquez gives us not merely a chronicle but a portrait of the town and its collective psyche … not merely a family but an entire culture.” —The Washington Post Book World
