Gabriel García Márquez

There are several compendiums in English about the life and work of Gabriel Garc¡a M rquez, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1982, that help to amplify our understanding of his influence; among the most rewarding are those by Harold Bloom and Gene H. Bell- Villada. In selecting the essays for this volume, the objective has been to reach further and deeper into Garc¡a M rquez's oeuvre while offering a panoramic view of its principal motifs and obsessions.
