«Crónica de una muerte anunciada» is the novel by Gabriel García Márquez, published by RBA in paperback (116 pages, in Spanish).
In a Colombian town, the whole community knows that the Vicario brothers are waiting for Santiago Nasar to avenge the honour of their sister Ángela; the novel reconstructs the hours before the crime with a fragmentary narrative, made of testimonies and silences, that dismantles collective guilt and the weight of traditions.
Novel originally published in 1981; this RBA edition, from 1994, belongs to the Narrativa actual collection (no. 15).
For readers of Latin American fiction and twentieth-century classics, and for those approaching García Márquez in a school setting.
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.
