I’ve loved García Márquez’s shorter works, but this has been a major struggle for me. I never do well with books on the more surrealist side of magical realism, where there’s no clear emotional or narrative logic guiding the events, and this is an especially detail-dense version of that. Individual images and moments are striking but if I hadn’t switched to audio I don’t think I’d be able to finish.
