What to expect
In Barcelona, an aging Brazilian prostitute trains her dog to weep at the grave she has chosen for herself. In Vienna, a woman parlays her gift for seeing the future into a fortunetelling position with a wealthy family. In Geneva, an ambulance driver and his wife take in the lonely, apparently dying ex-President of a Caribbean country, only to discover that his political ambition is very much intact.
In these twelve masterly stories about the lives of Latin Americans in Europe, García Márquez conveys the peculiar amalgam of melancholy, tenacity, sorrow, and aspiration that is the émigré experience.
Critics Review
“A triumph of storytelling.”
“Psychologically sharp.”
“Nothing short of brilliant—each of these tales is a gem.”
“García Márquez at his best. With a surreal phrase or a magic image, he allows us to see reality, grave and comic at once, in a unique light.”
“Full of relish at life’s oddness…García Márquez’s sheer ability to hold and enthrall makes Strange Pilgrims fascinating and memorable.”
“Lovely prose and some poignant insights contribute to a collection that pleases.”
“The plots are simple, but the character study and use of language is incisive. Highly recommended.”
