A review by ahar7911
Pedro Páramo by Juan Rulfo

4.0

expectation-wise threw me a little off, because this isn't magical realism at all - it's just a ghost(s') story, and a beautifully written one with plenty of murder to boot (go mexican lit?!). unsure why marquez called it the inspiration for one hundred years when it's more obviously a precursor to chronicle of a death foretold. a book i think i'd fall in love rereading and knowing more what it's about.
