Innocent Erendira and Other Stories

"The stories are rich and startling in their matter and confident in their manner....They are — the word cannot be avoided — magical." — John Updike, The New Yorker

This collection of fiction, representing some of García Márquez's earlier work, includes eleven short stories and a novella, Innocent Eréndira, in which a young girl who dreams of freedom cannot escape the reach of her vicious and avaricious grandmother.

"Garcí­a Márquez's fictional universe has the same staggeringly gratifying density and texture as Proust's Faubourg Saint-Germain and Joyce's Dublin....Arguably the best of the Latin Americans." — Martin Kaplan, The New Republic

"It is the genius of the mature Garcí­a Márquez that fatalism and possibility somehow coexist, that dreams redeem, that there is laughter even in death.' — John Leonard, New York Times
