Sitting at an outdoor cafe with PBS commentator and author Richard Rodríguez on a rare salty afternoon in San Francisco, we conversed about regrets. Did we have any? We realized that our regrets ...centered on two Spanish-speaking Nobel Laureates in literature who never seemed to have had any regrets: the Mexican Octavio Paz (1992) and the Colombian Gabriel García Márquez (1982). Rodríguez regretted not meeting Octavio Paz. Maríe-José Paz was having an art exhibition at the Louis Stearn Gallery on Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills, 20 Nov. 1992. Paz had invited 30 California writers to dine with him that night. 1 went. Rodríguez did not. He explained that he had felt inhibited. Many features contribute to this must-have copy that make the reading more accessible. Besides the author's proofreading and correcting of his own seminal text, distinguished Latin American authors introduce the novel: Álvaro Mutis, Carlos Fuentes, Víctor García de la Concha, and Claudio Guillén, to name a few. Even Márquez's former adversary, Mario Vargas Llosa, collaborated. A genealogy of the Buendía family is given. A short but selected bibliography for those doing their first reading of One Hundred Years of Solitude is provided. The glossary is most invaluable. It reveals just how careful Márquez was, choosing his words with exactitude, dispelling any notion of invention. I wish this section had been more complete. The section of proper names and their relationships to the Buendías helps in understanding the complex tribal nature of the Latin American family.

ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF Solitude, the magnificent 1970 novel that made the reputation of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, famously begins as a flashback. "Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel ...Aureliano Buendia was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice." Is it memory that makes possible the magic of Garcia Marquez's magic realism?

Pryce-Jones talks about Gabriel Garcia Marquez, who lived and died in Mexico City, and there he has received a sendoff that could have served for a head of state. Fear for his personal safety ...impelled Garcia Marquez to move to Mexico. His contribution to glory is the literary gimmick of magic realism. Familiarly nicknamed Gabo, he was awarded the 1982 Nobel Prize and praised as the pioneer of a cultural renaissance in Latin America.
