Chronicle of a Death Foretold by Gabriel García Márquez

4.0

This is my second Márquez book and even more than the magical realism, his style for me is marked by his large cast of characters and the non-linear aspect. I still think I would better enjoy Márquez studying him in a class setting where I could discuss and analyze the minutia with others, but I liked the unraveling aspect of this (think a very literary/highbrow form of true crime. This I think is a good starting point for Márquez rather than jumping into a longer, even more complex text of his. However I do personally hate how acceptable the idea of an honor killing is.
