These 26 stories, which are always captivating and often amazing, are presented chronologically so that readers can see the writer’s progression from early experimentation to full-blown magical realistism. Each story is more than a book. You are part of a group that lives under the control of a corpse, navigate through “The Last Voyage of the Ghost Ship”, a five-page story, and then feel blinded as you travel through “The Night of the Curlews”. Observer: Garcia Marquez’s single sentence often contains more meat than many entire novels.
