Mis cuentos favoritos fueron "Nabo, el negro que hizo esperar a los ángeles (1951)" y "La mujer que llegaba a las seis (1950)".
Se siente como los cuentos comienzan a tener una estructura característica mientras pasan los años ya que están en orden cronológico, pero se nota esa obsesión constante que tiene el autor con la muerte en toda la colección aunque prevalece en los primeros tres, que son bastante poco sutiles con este concepto.

Gostei deste lado mais obscuro do autor ao abordar o tema da morte. O meu conto preferido foi Tubal-Caín inventa uma Estrela e A Outra Costela da Morte (que se complementam).

This one is about a man and a woman who only meet in their dreams, having a relationship but couldn't find each other in real life 😭😭😭

Niente a che vedere con I funerali della Mamá Grande o La incredibile e triste storia della candida Eréndira e della sua nonna snaturata per quanto riguarda stile e temi, ma è comprensibile, dato che si tratta dei primi racconti da lui scritti in assoluto.

- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Strong character development? It's complicated

- Diverse cast of characters? N/A
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Maybe I'm just not mature enough to read Marquez yet, but the best way I can describe what his writing style is to me, at least at this moment in my life, is this: redundant and slow.
He details everything, all the time, and it's hard to go along with his train of thought because of it. You think the story is gonna be about something because of how hard he fixates on a certain thing, but then the paragraph ends and you remember it's about a completely different thing. I don't like that.
I'm not going to act like he's not an amazing writer, he is, he sees things normal people don't and describes them with such vivid vocabulary. But for the most part, he goes around in circles and has a hard time progressing the story in a coherent way. The same thing happened to me with 'One Hundred Years of Solitude", what the actual fuck was happening in that book. Idk, because I didn't get past 50 pages because I PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY COULDN'T.
Anyways, not for me right now, kinda sad, but I'm happy that I don't have to read it, idk, I'm conflicted, he's supposed to be good and I just don't get it, maybe someday I will, I don't really care that much, goodbye.

Un libro de cuentos del premio Nobel. Ya se advierte su gran creación, el realismo mágico y su sensibilidad casi minuciosa para relatar estados de ánimo en los personajes y unirlos al tiempo atmosférico o a cosas tan simples en apariencia como el reflejo por las mañanas, ese que es como nosotros pero que lo hace todo al revés y que nos observa desde su pretendida transparencia. Muy buenos. Todos. Muy unidos al tema de la muerte o del cuerpo lleno de insectos desagradables.

Ne pamtim da sam duže čitala jednu knjigu.
Prve dve priče razvlačila sam nekoliko meseci, da bih ostatak knjige pročitala za noć, kad sam konačno odlučila da ostavim sve druge planove i posvetim se pravoj vrsti odmora.
