LA FAMILIA BUENDÍA EN LOS TIEMPOS DE LA GLOBALIZACIÓN: MELODRAMA DE JORGE FRANCO.
- Authors
del Carmen Porras, María
- Abstract
A literary criticism of the book "Melodrama" by Colombian author Jorge Franco is presented. Franco is compared to older Colombian writer Gabriel García Márquez, and his book to García Márquez's "Cien años de soledad." Characters and events from "Cien años de soledad" are found reimagined in "Melodrama" and the final scenes of death in each novel analyzed. The author notes that Franco approaches the genre of magic realism for which García Márquez is known.
