Book VIII: Chronicle of a Death Foretold, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, published 1982, 120 pages.
Garcia Marquez is a great author to read. His writing just flows so nicely. This is the third book I have read by him originally turned on to his works from my old roommate Brennan. So far I have not been disappointed. I mean The dude won a noble prize (Marquez that is not Brennan) so I figured he is always worth a read. They only award those things to really talented people. Maybe I will get one for my wonderful works here at Surfingruinedmylife.net then again probably not. Plus I scored it at a yard sale for like a quarter.
This novel is South American Literature thus taking us on the quite the reading tour of the world in the last three book club entries. Its a short read and truth be told I am almost half way through it so if you want to follow along you better get reading.
Summary of Book VII: Boule De Suif & Selected Stories
Book VII was a very entertaining and enjoyable read. Then again what would one expect from a protege of Flaubert. Most of the stories are no more then ten to fifteen pages ranging from topics such as war, erotica, social interaction, romance and adventure. It is definitely a great collection of short stories and I whole heatedly recommend you give it a read if you have not already (what you mean you dont religiously keep up with the Lisanti Book Club reading? Astounding!) .
Garcia Marquez is one of my favorite authors. You have to read “One hundred Years of Solitude.” Its considered his best work. Truth be told I’ve never read the whole thing. But I’ve read the first 150 pages three or four times over. Its nuts. Its got mutant dicks, ghosts, cock fights, blood baths and gypsies and that’s just the beginning.
It’s kind of like a really hot porn video. Except you cant fast forward to the end. So I always finish up about half way through and leave satisfied.
I am going to have to get my hands on that one.
