About This Item
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, Inc., 1995. First American Edition . Hardcover. Fine/Fine. Translated by Edith Grossman. This is the story of a doomed love affair between a twelve-year-old girl and a bookish priest, three times her age, who's been sent to oversee her exorcism. "Nobel Prize winner Garcia Marquez writes with his usual inventiveness, but over the years his prose style has crystallized and condensed. The result is a tale whose sharp social retort is made all the louder by the luminous, uncluttered telling. Highly recommended."---Barbara Hoffert, Library Journal
Synopsis
Of Love and Other Demons is a novel by Colombian author Gabriel García Márquez, first published in 1994. In the prologue, Garcia Marquez claims the novel is the fictional representation of a legend the author was told by his Grandmother as a child; of a 12 year-old girl who contracts rabies but was believed to be a 'miracle-worker', with long flowing copper hair that continues to grow after death.
