Gabriel Garcia Marquez - what next please?

[MiddleAgeMiddleEngland]

I've read Love in the Time of Cholera which I loved, and am just about to finish One Hundred Years of Solitude. Enjoying it, but not quite as much as the first one.

Can anyone suggest which of his I should read next?

Many thanks

I read 100 years first. All those Pedros get a bit confusing. I enjoyed all the ones I've read and Love in the Time of cholera was probably my favourite. I'd say the other ones I've read are more like that than 100 years so just go with what you fancy!

Yes, the names do get a bit confusing, but my edition helpfully has a family tree at the beginning which I've been referring to constantly.

I'll visit the bookshop and see what else they have - Penguin have reissued some of them with new jackets.

all that toing and froing to the front annoyed me a bit though. It was worth the effort I guess in the end. I like it less than the others I read.

Chronicle of a Death Foretold.
No one Writes to the Colonel
Autumnof the Patriarch
Living to tell the tale ( autobiography)

There's a lovely trilogy by Louis de Bernieres :the war of Don Emanuels Nether Parts; Senir Vivo and the Coca Lord; The Troublesome Offspring of Cardinal Guzman Which are inspired by '100 years '

Thank you for the recommendations, I think I'll try No One Writes to the Colonel next.

The only Louis de Bernieres I've read is Captain Corelli's Mandolin which I remember enjoying although it was several years ago now. I'll look out for the others. I've been reading lots of English Victorian fiction lately, so maybe time for a Latin American phase! Any more suggestions welcome, babybarrister

babybarrister - thank you so much, I'll explore the list and order a couple.

A rainy bank holiday Monday here, just right for curling up with a good book

I absolute loved the LDB trilogy and LITTOC. One Hundred Years of Solitude has been on my shelf for a while. Enjoy.

On the Latin American theme, I absolutely loved Isabel Allende's House of the Spirits (epic family saga over several generations, politics, magic realism etc so a bit similar to One Hundred Years) and Laura Esquivel's Like Water for Chocolat (much shorter but still with a magic realism feel to it).
Like the sound of the LDB trilogy - in fact I think I have one of them lurking on a shelf somewhere waiting for me to get round to it...
