Reviews"You emerge from this marvelous novel as if from a dream, the mind on fire . . . With a single bound, Gabriel García Márquez leaps onto the stage with Günter Grass and Vladimir Nabokov, his appetite as enormous as his imagination, his fatalism greater than either. Dazzling." -THE NEW YORK TIMES "García Márquez forces upon us at every page the wonder and extravagance of life, while compassionately mocking its effusions; and when the book ends . . . we are left with that pleasant exhaustion which only very great novels provide . . . [García Márquez] makes us feel as if we had survived his century of articulate dreams only to awaken and discover that they must finally all come true." -THE NEW YORK REVIEW OF BOOKS "In a beautiful translation, surrealism and innocence blend to form a wholly individual style. Like rumcalentano, the story goes down easily, leaving a rich, sweet burning flavor behind." -TIME "Rabassa's translation is a triumph of fluent, gravid momentum, all stylishness and commonsensical virtuosity . . . García Márquez feeds the mind's eye non-stop . . . Like the jungle itself, this novel comes back again and again, fecund, savage and irresistible." -CHICAGO TRIBUNE BOOK WORLD From the Hardcover edition., "You emerge from this marvelous novel as if from a dream, the mind on fire . . .
