One of the major Latin American writers of the twentieth century.This book offers discussion and analysis of the subtle writing of Nobel Laureate Gabriel Garca Mrquez a traditionalist who draws from classic Western texts, a Modernist committed to modernizing the conservative literary tradition in Colombia and Latin America, an internationally recognized major writer of the 1960s Boom, the key figure in popularizing what has been called 'magic realism' and, finally, a Modernist who has occasionally engaged in some ofthe strategies of the postmodern.The author demonstrates that Garca Mrquez is above all a committed and highly accomplished Modernist fiction writer who has successfully synthesized his political vision in his writing and absorbed a vast array of cultural and literary traditions. Drawing on Garca Mrquez's interviews with Williams and others over the years, the book also explores the importance of the nonliterary, the presence of oral tradition and the visual arts, thus providing a more complete insight into Garca Mrquez's strategies as a Modernist with heterogeneous aesthetic interests, as well as an understanding of his social and political preoccupations.RAYMOND LESLIE WILLIAMS is Professor of Latin American Literature at the University of California, Riverside.
