The narrator recounts a murder through the eyes of a small Caribbean town, all of whom knew of the crime before it occurred. As usual, Márquez is a fabulous sociologist, but I’m afraid his romantic and violent anecdotes are too flimsy for me to love.
“‘Shit, cousin,’ Pablo Vicario told me, “you can’t imagine how hard it is to kill a man!’” (118)
