Love in the Time of Cholera
by García Márquez
Latin American literature truly is some of the greatest in the world, and García Márquez is among the very best writers from his continent. If you then add that Love in the Time of Cholera is one of his most famous and widely praised novels, it's not a massive step to deduce that this is something pretty special. Márquez has a supreme gift in writing, an amazing ability to relate narrative in a disspassionate but captivating way, and keen eye for awesome plot structure, excellent themeing and motifs, a dry and brilliant wit, and, when the occassion calls for it, a poetic genius that can cunjure stunning emotions on demand. Then you have a tale of true love and high adventure, a cast of great characters, exotic Latin flavours and a touch of charming realism. It's inspiring, really.
