Of Love and Other Demons

"...[G]rotesque, terrible, glinting and gloomy. The world is the familiar Garcia Marquez world, a mixture of phantasmagoria and a realism whose truths seem as incredible and strange as the moments of demonic magic. The tale--spare and swift in the telling--has all the ineluctable, irrational fatality of 'Chronicle of a Death Foretold' (1982), though the love story, also grim and driven, has none of the comic and inconsequential gentleness of 'Love in the Time of Cholera' (1988)."García Márquez, Gabriel is the author of 'Of Love and Other Demons', published 1996 under ISBN 9780140256369 and ISBN 0140256369.
