Reviews

'... deserves a place too in the libraries of academic institutions where courses are offered on modern Latin American literature. ... maintains the high standards already set by other volumes in the series.' Reference Reviews 'The Cambridge Companion to Gabriel Garcia Marquez does not shun a critical perspective on a major writer. It offers a balanced overview of his work, and thoughtful analysis for a new generation of readers.' Bulletin of Latin American Research '... an engagingly diverse and lively overview of Garcia Marquez's oeuvre, not only offering many new insights into the major texts but also examining the less studied non-fictional works and cinematic adaptations.' Lloyd Hughes Davis, Modern Language Review
