Gabriel García Márquez in Retrospect: A Collection

Gabriel García Márquez in Retrospect: A Collection

5/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
Gabriel Garcia Marquez in Retrospect gathers fifteen essays by noted scholars in the fields of Latin American literature, politics, and theater. The volume offers broad overviews of the Colombian author s total body of work, along with closer looks at some of his acknowledged masterpieces. The Nobel laureate s cultural contexts and influences, his variety of themes, and his formidable legacy all come up for consideration. New readings of One Hundred Years of Solitude are further complemented by fresh, stimulating, highly detailed examinations of his later novels and stories . Further attention is focused on Gabo s labors as journalist and as memoirist , and to his sometime relationships with the cinema and the stage. Reactions to his enormous stature on the part of younger writers, including recent signs of backlash, are also given thoughtful scrutiny. Feminist and ecocritical interpretations, plus lively discussions of Gabo s artful use of humor, character s names, and even cuisine, are to be found here as well. In the wake of Garcia Marquez s passing away in 2014, this collection of essays serves as a fitting tribute to one of the world s greatest literary figures of the twentieth century."
