No One Writes to the Colonel
📖 Synopsis
An old colonel waits years for a pension that never comes, clinging to his dignity and a fighting cock. García Márquez, brief and perfect.
✍️ ChatZona's review
García Márquez wrote this novel in a single burst, they say, and it shows: it has the restraint and perfection of a writer who allows himself not a single superfluous gesture. The colonel and his dignity in the face of a state that owes him what it owes him is one of the most memorable images in Latin American literature. Brief, nearly perfect, accessible without being simple. The best entry point to García Márquez for those intimidated by the magical realism of One Hundred Years of Solitude.
