Love in the Time of Cholera and the musicality of Gabriel García Márquez's prose.

I'm not sure why I put off reading this book for so long. I loved 100 Years of Solitude and wanted more by García Márquez, and yet I resisted reading this other deservedly famous work. Partly, because I foolishly dismissed it as a silly romance, and partly because a friend described it as 'pointless and meandering.' But I downloaded this book on impulse and I'm glad I did.

It isn't quite as surreal as 100 Years (though a few fantastical elements like perfumed crows swoop in unobtrusively into the perfectly plausible port city the story is set in). Here, the magic lies in the prose. It is as close to poetry as a novel has a right to be. Wryly witty, powerfully evocative, and with characters so well rounded you'd know them as well as your own family.

Some, like my friend, may find it 'meandering and pointless.' But this isn't the sort of book you read for answers, this is the sort of book you read for an experience. Love in the Time of Cholera was a feast, and I savoured every word.

TIL Gabriel García Márquez refused to use adverbs ending in -mente in his [Spanish] book "Love in the Time of Cholera", so he requested that his English translator Edith Grossman omit any use of adverbs enging in -ly. theguardian.com/books/201…

BOOK CLUB September 2021: ‘One Hundred Years of Solitude’ - Gabriel García Márquez

[Spanish: Cien años de soledad]

This is the fifth book club book, I gave options for the genre of Magical Realism from Latin America in the poll.

For September 2021, we have decided to choose:
One Hundred Years of Solitude - Gabriel García Márquez.

>One Hundred Years of Solitude is a landmark 1967 novel by Colombian author Gabriel García Márquez that tells the multi-generational story of the Buendía family, whose patriarch, José Arcadio Buendía, founded the (fictitious) town of Macondo. The novel is often cited as one of the supreme achievements in literature.

Gabriel García Márquez in space

couple of days ago seeking some good SF books for the summer reading list, I clearly remember some reviewer SOMEWHERE said about a particular title that is like "Gabriel García Márquez' one hundred years of solitude in space". I mental noted that - but not completely - because now I can't find it anywhere. Search history is huge, and I researched tons of books.
Any idea what book that might be? I know I looked into Ian McDonald , Iain M. Banks ... also searched for fresh cyberpunk titles, etc...
