“García Márquez has extraordinary strength and firmness of imagination and writes with the calmness of a man who knows exactly what wonders he can perform.” -- Alfred Kazin, New York Times Book Review
“It is the genius of García Márquez that fatalism and possibility somehow coexist, that dreams redeem, that there is laughter even in death.” -- John Leonard, New York Times

The person who delivered said it was handed to a resident. I found it on my porch chair. Either it went to the wrong address, which it often does and a neighbor brought it or the delivery person typed in the wrong info. It was left, not hand-delivered.
