Title: A glutonous smorgasboard for Gabito fans!
Review: Living to Tell the Tale is like winning the lottery for Gabriel Garcia Marquez lovers. After drifting off to Maconda, or agonizing over the long love affair in Love in the Time of Cholera, or being spirited off to so many of the places in his stories, Marquez gives his readers the oft-denied chance to peek into the true-life origins of his characters, locations and story-lines. Absolutely fascinating and wonderful. I'd be hard-pressed to suggest reading this first, only because the magic of his previous works are so wild and fabulous - reading that reality had some part of those stories might detract from the magic. Nevertheless, this is a stand alone work.
