Narration Supposing Books Strange Pilgrims

In Barcelona, an aging Brazilian prostitute trains her dog to weep at the grave she has chosen for herself. In Vienna, a woman parlays her gift for seeing the future into a fortunetelling position with a wealthy family. In Geneva, an ambulance driver and his wife take in the lonely, apparently dying ex-President of a Caribbean country, only to discover that his political ambition is very much intact.

In these twelve masterful short stories about the lives of Latin Americans in Europe, García Márquez conveys the peculiar amalgam of melancholy, tenacity, sorrow, and aspiration that is the émigré experience.

Piece Out Of Books Strange Pilgrims

A truly superb short story collection. I love the short stories of Marquez and his later pieces are even better than his earlier tales. This book features twelve stories written between 1976 and 1982. The first story, 'Bon Voyage, Mr President', states the general theme of those that follow: Latin American citizens adrift (or trapped) in Europe.Some of the stories are more fantastical than others. Two of the best are also two of the most kafkaesque: 'I Only Came to Use the Phone' and 'The Trail

After the short story "The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World," which has been an enchanting but brief introduction to Marquez, _Strange Pilgrims_ is my first real encounter with his writing, which is a steady-handed mix of precision and warmth. His story-telling is urbane, evoking a 20th century past nether-world in which what for a sub-urban American is strangeness (the migrating pain of an ousted president-in-exile, the weightless body of a saint, a woman who makes a living by selling her

Damn hay!

One of those feelings you can't shake, when you feel so alone in a foreign city. That feeling of isolation, completely lost. Whether you have just stepped onto that foreign land, or you have lived there for 20 years. Every time I read a Marquez book I am reminded, that whether his stories fit in your taste or not, he wrote in his unique voice back in the 70s and early 80s (in this book's case), and these popular writers of today with their own unique voices, such as Haruki Murakami or Juno Diaz,



Marquez remains a great writer. While not every story in this bundle is equally enjoyable, they all show great mastery and the ability to draw interesting characters in a few lines, a feat in which some writers don't succeed in a whole book.The Dutch translation that I read, had a horrible title. The poetical Spanish title (Doce Cuentos Peregrinos, Twelve Pilgrim Stories) fitted exactly, because there are 12 stories, the rough drafts have traveled with Marquez to the different places where he
