Gabriel Garcia Marquez : A Critical Companion (Critical Companions to Popular Contemporary Writers)

Rating:
Summary: Excellent companion for Garcia Marquez
Review: The book allowed me to understand the complexity of the plot in One Hundred Years of Solitude. It also provided me with enough historical background information for understanding the short stories within the book. My favorite, however, was the chapter on Love in the Time of Cholera. I fully recommend this book for the reader of Garcia Marquez who lacks the background knowledge on Latin American issues.
