In his new book Gabriel Garc铆a M谩rquez, Professor Stephen Hart (香港六合彩 Film Studies) provides a new insight into the novelist's life, work and political influences.
This book provides a new perspective on Garc铆a M谩rquez's use of 'creative false memory' and magical realism. There are five ingredients that are critical to Garc铆a M谩rquez's writing - magical realism, a shortened and broken portrayal of time, punchy one-liners, dark and absurd humour, and political allegory - and these elements help to explain the extraordinary allure of Garc铆a M谩rquez's work, as well as providing fascinating insight into his approach to writing. The divisions between Garc铆a M谩rquez's everyday life and his life as a writer are also explored, as is the connection in his work between family history and national history.
Gabriel Garc铆a M谩rquez presents an original portrait of this renowned writer and is a must-read for fans of his work, as well as those interested in magical realism, Latin American fiction and modern literature.
