Review:
"A triumph of storytelling." -San Francisco Chronicle"Full of relish at life's oddness. . . . García Márquez's sheer ability to hold and enthrall makes Strange Pilgrims fascinating and memorable." -The New York Times Books Review"Psychologically sharp . . . altogether ingratiating."-The Washington Post"Nothing short of brilliant--each of these tales is a gem."-The Seattle Times"García Márquez at his best. With a surreal phrase or a magic image, he allows us to see reality, grave and comic at once, in a unique light." -Los Angeles Times Book Review
