註釋García Márquez has composed a tour de force of moral and emotional complexity, with a low profile, without fireworks' Angela Carter in the Guardian A mesmerizing work...the novel sets out to reconstruct a murder that occurred twenty-seven years before...Márquez's chronicle moves backwards and forwards in time ...An unusual and original work: a simple narrative so charged with irony that it has the authority of political fable.' Bill Buford in The Times Literary Supplement The book and its narrator probe slowly, painfully, through the mists of half-accurate memories,equivocations, contradictory versions, trying to establish what happened and why...Chronicle of a Death Foretold...is as haunting, as lovely and as true as anything García Márquez has written before' Salman Rushdie in theLondon Review of Books A virtuoso performance: a tour de force...In prose that is spare yet heavy with meaning, García Márquez gives us not merely a chronicle but a portrait of the town and its collective psyche...not merely a family but an entire culture.' Washington Post Book World Exquisitely harrowing...Very strange and brilliantly conceived&of metaphysical murder mystery.' The New York Times Book Review
