## Description

desertcart.com: Strange Pilgrims (Vintage International): 9781400034697: García Márquez, Gabriel, Grossman, Edith: Books

Review: A Pilgrimage to the Genre of Magical Realism - This is my favorite collection of short stories and one of my favourite books of magical realism. Most people know Gabriel Garcia Marquez for his novels, but he was a master of the short story form. There are unforgettable gems in here like "I Only Came to Use a Phone" about a woman who hitches a ride and ends up in an insane assylum and my favorite story "Light is Like Water" about two boys who beg for a boat in their apartment and end up drowning some boys and flooding the city with light. If you want a good introduction to the genre of magical realism, this is it: beautifully written, strange stories where magic is rooted in reality.
Review: Short Stories from a Master - These short stories are timeless, full of mystery and unforgettable. A literary piece everyone should have. The shipping was fast, rhe item as described, and the book itself was carefully packaged.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Pilgrimage to the Genre of Magical Realism
*by D***B on August 9, 2015*

This is my favorite collection of short stories and one of my favourite books of magical realism. Most people know Gabriel Garcia Marquez for his novels, but he was a master of the short story form.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Short Stories from a Master

These short stories are timeless, full of mystery and unforgettable. A literary piece everyone should have. The shipping was fast, rhe item as described, and the book itself was carefully packaged.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pleasantly typical
*by M***A on April 27, 2010*

What an ideal book for my Garcia Marquez collection. Some stories appear to have no point--but that's a North American viewpoint. South Americans: "It is what It Is." My favorite story about children turning on the lights in their apartment and being magically realistic is in this collection. Short story books serve two purposes for me: One, when I can't sleep and need a boost toward dreamland, and Two, the paperback is easy to cart around while I'm in waiting rooms for appointments. The book can also serve as a "test run" for a new reader who wants to sample his style, characters, sentences ending in ways you'd never expect but can appreciate, and plots (some, "sort of").
