Esta historia está muy bien escrita, te transporta a la época en la que se desarrollan los hechos y te hace partícipe de lo que va sucediendo. Además, puedes observar diferentes problemáticas de la época y lo que ello conllevó por lo que hace que compares entre el pasado y los problemas del presente. Por otro lado, tiene varias frases que te dejan pensativo y hacen que reflexiones sobre ellas. Es súper interesante ver como todo una secuencia de fatídicos hechos conllevan al fin y al cabo la muerte de alguien y cómo no actuar o por lo menos no hacerlo a tiempo puede provocar un mal mayor al que te puedas imaginar. Tanto la historia como la pluma del autor son impecables.

not my favorite -- either i'm not a fan of GGM's writing style or the translation is tooooo antiquated. the subject matter was very one dimensional, and i found myself wanting the (narrator) to get the hell on with the report/recountment of of the event; as a matter of impatience. the greatest feeling i have is i can now check Gabrielle Garcia Marquez off my list of writers to check out.

Like an extended story from one of the many such wonderful ones in One Hundred Years or Solitude, a joyously written murder tale on a town’s complicity, astounding inaction and fated coincidence.
