Drawing on García Márquez's interviews with Williams and others over the years, the book also explores the importance of the non-literary, the presence of oral tradition and the visual arts, thus providing a more complete insight into García Márquez's strategies as a Modernist with heterogeneous aesthetic interests, as well as an understanding of his social and political preoccupations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e RAYMOND LESLIE WILLIAMS is Professor of Latin American Literature at the University of California, Riverside.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 183\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 9.2 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 18, 2013\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42730069065791,"sku":"9781855662520","price":61.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/4110405ade53e4e6d89019fc1124cf5d.webp?v=1765124692","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/a-companion-to-gabriel-garcia-marquez-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
