«In Evil Hour» is the novel by Gabriel García Márquez, published by Picador in paperback (183 pages, in English).
The action takes place in a town recently pacified after a civil war, where conservatives persecute their liberal rivals. Anonymous lampoons that appear on doors air private rumors and infidelities and ignite the community's latent violence. The tension turns the town into a scene of denunciation and fear.
This is the English translation of «La mala hora» (1962), done by Gregory Rabassa; the edition belongs to the Picador Books collection.
For readers of Gabriel García Márquez and Latin American fiction, interested in a story of social tension and public rumors.
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.
