I want to give a salute to the artist who created "Chronicle of a Death Foretold". I never thought my English teacher would have to tell me to put the book down because class and break time was over.

Chronicle was awesome. Cool that someone else here is into his other novels. 100 was awesome of course. Read it twice. But his others are also cool and definitely worth a read.

RIP to an awesome writer !

It struck me how Chronicle was so richly drawn up, the story was mesmerising. Love In Time and 100 were beautiful novels, but by far my favourite was the Chronicle, even though it's a novella.

Brilliant mind. Will truly be missed, but we should thank him for the works he left with us.

RIP indeed. The only thing of his I've read was One Hundred Years of Solitude, and it was beautiful.

RIP.

An incredible soul, incredible writer.

“The past was a lie, memory has no return, every spring gone by could never be recovered, and the wildest and most tenacious love is an ephemeral truth in the end”

There's another good thread on GGM in the P&CE forum. But here I'll paraphrase a comment not from his fiction but from a public comment he made at the time of the idiotic Falkland Island war back in the early 1980s:

It was like two bald men fighting over a comb.
