New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1988. First printing. Fine in a fine jacket.. First edition in English of García Marquez's ode to the persistence of romantic memory. The author's acclaimed novel, first published in Spanish in 1985. The English translation was praised by Thomas Pynchon to the utmost reaches of superlative adjectives, and was the recipient of less frenzied but still glowing compliments from Michiko Kakutani. García Márquez's theme — romantic love that never fades, vows never broken; or, seen another way, the nightmare impossibility of permanently dismissing a determined suitor — struck Pynchon as "revolutionary," though his judgment that working in "love's vernacular" is a "daring step for any writer" may raise eyebrows among those familiar with genres and modes of writing in which these themes and treatments have never fallen out of fashion. García Márquez himself once said, with perhaps greater perception, that the revolutionary part of writing consists simply of doing it well: and he did. A beautiful copy. 8.25'' x 5.5''. Original publisher's black cloth. In original unclipped ($18.95) color pictorial jacket designed by Carole Devine Carson and Chip Kidd. 348 pages. Promotional postcard for the book loosely laid in.
