Well, the book I just read is really three books in one, three collections of Garcia Marquez's short stories. Honestly, I didn't like the first one so much - only one story or maybe two in it that I really enjoyed. The second one was much better. The stories weren't in Garcia Marquez's usual style, but still the craftsmanship was there. They were really well-written, especially the eponymous last one. The last collection, The Incredible and Sad Tale of Innocent Erendia and Her Heartless Grandmother, was fantastic. Those were some of the best short stories I've read in a long time. Beautiful magic realism, beautiful writing, beautiful stories.
Note to self: villages float in the heat, alcohol swims in your eyes. And I really wish I'd written A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings.
