Liked It Rated 4 stars “I had to read this book as part of a South American History class that I took in college. It was my first introduction to magical realism and I remember being awed by the idea of this genre way more than I was awed by the history I was studying. I need to pick it up again and give it a run.” see full review » see other reviews »

  “I've read this book three times and always get a charge out of the structure and the nuance, the revelations faced by Artemio Cruz (narrator) as he reviews his life, from death back to birth. Superb book.”
