«Crónica de una muerte anunciada» is the novel by Gabriel García Márquez, published by Círculo de Lectores in paperback (164 pages, in Spanish).
The novel reconstructs the murder of Santiago Nasar in a Caribbean town, a crime that the Vicario brothers announce beforehand to wash the honor of their sister Ángela. With testimonies and leaps in time, García Márquez turns the narration into a collective chronicle about fatality, honor, and guilt.
Originally published in 1981, it was a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize in 1983 in the fiction category.
A novel commonly read in school settings and a gateway to twentieth-century Latin American narrative.
Gabriel José García Márquez was a Colombian writer and journalist, known affectionately as Gabo or Gabito throughout Latin America. Considered one of the most significant authors of the 20th century, particularly in the Spanish language, he was awarded the 1972 Neustadt International Prize for Literature and the 1982 Nobel Prize in Literature. He pursued a self-directed education that resulted in leaving law school for a career in journalism. From early on he showed no inhibitions in his criticism of Colombian and foreign politics. In 1958, he married Mercedes Barcha Pardo; they had two sons, Rodrigo and Gonzalo.
