Chronicle of a death foretold.
- New York Random House 1983
- 120 p.
A spectacular wedding, a sudden scandal, a (Perhaps reluctant) murder to which an entire town appears to be an accessory before the fact, the exotic manifestations of guilt... Chronicle of Death Foretod is a dark and profound novel about the codes that men impose on women, and women on themselves; the curious notions of honor that can dominate an isolated community; the irresistible impulse toward violene: and the psychology of mass complicity. Unsettling, powerfull evocative, luminous woith color, it is a brilliant performance by the aurthor of One Hundred Years of Solitude and an important literary event.
