tawallah 's review for:
The Story of a Shipwrecked Sailor
by Gabriel García Márquez
Despite not loving this author’s fiction works, I decided to cry one of his journalistic stories instead. This was unknown story which took place in 1955 when a Colombian sailor was thrown overboard in the Caribbean Sea and was adrift for ten days without food or water. With such an outline, my curiosity was well piqued.
This is a simple minimalist rendering of what must have been an ordeal for Luis. He exhibited such survival guilt but unfortunately that was never explored. Not a surprise given the time of its publication. But it was short enough to give all the events but still have a small hunger to know more of the sequela. The narrator has quite a way with words and description. And I still can’t fathom how he survived this ordeal.
