«Los funerales de la Mamá Grande» is the short story collection by Gabriel García Márquez, published by Editorial Diana in hardback (157 pages, in Spanish).
A volume of eight stories in which García Márquez recreates the universe of Macondo and its surroundings. The title story, which closes the collection, narrates with hyperbole and satire the funeral rites of the region's absolute sovereign; the set combines the everyday and the fantastic as a sample of magical realism and social criticism.
For readers interested in magical realism and contemporary Spanish 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.
