Small Introduction to Marquez

Marquez is an interesting writer. He resembles Kafka and Camus in his pattern of writing and plot. However he presents his arguments on logic and society in a manner that seems less dark then that of the others. The setting in which the stories take place is also unique, as society in the stories is less what we are used to and more closely resembling the south american societies of today. This still however, doesn't stop the message. Marquez presents his point of view through stories like Tuesday Siesta and Balthazar's Marvelous Afternoon which are foreign in plot and setting, but still completely relatable to the masses. So far Marquez is one of my favorite writers that we have read about this year.
