Gabbo at his best. Un-put-downable book. The prelude of why this is 12 stories and not 17 makes a good read. Unpredictable, absorbs and pulls you inside.
"I just came for the phone"... and you remain stuck forever in the book.

A must for Gabbo fans, and a good initiation for the unintiated into the world of Marquez.

This is awesome, because its a collection of 12 story. some part of the story i didnt like, but its a average book for who loves reading and books.Not published until 1992, the stories that make up this collection were originally written during the seventies and eighties. Each of the stories touches on the theme of dislocation, and the strangeness of life in a foreign land, although quite what "foreign" means is one of Mr. García Márquez's central questions in this book. Mr. García Márquez hi...

Good
