This review is from: Gabriel Garcia Marquez (Bloom's BioCritiques) (Hardcover)

In "Gabriel Garcia Marquez", Harold Bloom (Sterling Professor of the Humanities, Yale University) provides readers with an informed and informative biography of Gabriel Garcia Marques, the South American writer who won the Nobel Prize in Literature and whose most widely known novel for English readers is "One Hundred years of Solitude". "Gabriel Garcia Marquez" features a critical, scholarly, and thought-provoking essay and analysis, supplemented with details about the writer and his life. Also very highly recommended reading for inclusion into highschool, college, and community library Literary Studies collections are Professor Harold Blooms' "James Baldwin"; "Herman Melville" ; "William Blake"; "Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451"; "Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five"; "Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis"; and "Tennessee Williams's The Glass Menagerie".
