The best collection of short stories I've ever read!  August 16, 2011

What an epic writer. This textbook is interesting because the stories are written from the time the author is 21 until he is in his thirties. You can see him grow as a writer through each story and they just get better. Some of them are very bizarre and intriguing and the later ones have the same color, lush vocabulary and humor as all of Marquez' famous novels. The textbook also arrive in great condition and sooner than I expected.
