Kroniek van een aangekondigde dood
Book • 2018
The novella tells the story of the murder of Santiago Nasar, an event foretold from the outset.
The narrative is set in a small Colombian town and revolves around the wedding of Bayardo San Román and Ángela Vicario.
When Ángela is discovered not to be a virgin, her twin brothers, Pedro and Pablo Vicario, decide to kill Santiago, whom Ángela accuses of defiling her.
The story is told through a non-linear narrative, blending flashbacks and interviews to reconstruct the events leading to Nasar’s demise.
The book explores themes of honor, ritual, and the consequences of tradition, and is characterized by García Márquez’s use of magical realism.
