Edited and with an introduction by Ilan Stavans, this volume brings together a unique grouping of essays on Gabriel García Márquez's seminal work. Stavans's introduction considers the novel's massive scope and pronounces it a Spanish-language masterpiece on par with Don Quixote. Charles Straut takes up where Stavans leaves off to celebrate García Márquez's heightened appreciation for the strange and marvellous in reality.
