One of the major Latin American writers of the twentieth century.
This book offers discussion and analysis of the subtle writing of
Nobel Laureate Gabriel Garcia Marquez - a traditionalist who draws
from classic Western texts, a Modernist committed to modernizing
the conservative literary tradition in Colombia and Latin America,
an internationally recognized major writer of the 1960s Boom, the
key figure in popularizing what has been called "magic realism"
and, finally, a Modernist who has occasionally engaged in some
ofthe strategies of the postmodern. The author demonstrates that
Garcia Marquez is above all a committed and highly accomplished
Modernist fiction writer who has successfully synthesized his
political vision in his writing and absorbed a vast array of
cultural and literary traditions. Drawing on Garcia Marquez's
interviews with Williams and others over the years, the book also
explores the importance of the non-literary, the presence of oral
tradition and the visual arts, thus providing a more complete
insight into Garcia Marquez's strategies as a Modernist with
heterogeneous aesthetic interests, as well as an understanding of
his social and political preoccupations. RAYMOND LESLIE WILLIAMS is
Professor of Latin American Literature at the University of
California, Riverside.
