“Exquisitely harrowing ... very strange and brilliantly conceived
... a sort of metaphysical murder mystery.” —The New York Times
Book Review
“This investigation of an ancient murder takes on the quality of a
hallucinatory exploration, a deep, groping search into the
gathering darkness of human intentions for a truth that continually
slithers away.” —The New York Review of Books
“Brilliant ... A small masterpiece ... we can almost see, smell and
hear Garcia Marquez’s Caribbean backwater and its inhabitants.”
—San Francisco Chronicle
“As pungent and memorable as a sharp spice, an examination of the
nature of complicity and fate ... an exquisite performance.” —The
Christian Science Monitor
"A tour de force ... In prose that is spare yet heavy with meaning,
Garcia Marquez gives us not merely a chronicle but a portrait of
the town and its collective psyche ... not merely a family but an
entire culture.” —The Washington Post Book World
