«En este libro hay más lecciones valiosas sobre el oficio de novelista que en cualquier facultad de literatura.» Juan Gabriel Vásquez.

En septiembre de 1967, unos jóvenes Gabriel García Márquez y Mario Vargas Llosa se reunieron en Lima para hablar de literatura latinoamericana. El primero había vendido ya miles de ejemplares de Cien años de soledad. El segundo acababa de ganar el Premio Rómulo Gallegos por La casa verde.

Hoy ambos son considerados universalmente dos de los máximos exponentes de la literatura en español, pero por aquel entonces eran dos jóvenes que estaban empezando su carrera como novelistas. En Dos soledades se sitúan frente a frente dos escritores, dos genios literarios, dos maneras diferentes de entender la literatura, dos temperamentos en cierto modo contradictorios, dos formas distintas de narrar. Son los tiempos en que el boom se está gestando, en los que todavía no se ha acuñado nombre para lo que hoy conocemos como «realismo mágico». En estas páginas apasionantes, el lector asiste a una conversación sin igual.

La edición incorpora textos de Juan Gabriel Vásquez, Luis Rodríguez Pastor, José Miguel Oviedo, Abelardo Oquendo, Abelardo Sánchez León y Ricardo González Vigil, quienes rememoran, la mayoría en calidad de testigos, aquel diálogo; y, además, dos entrevistas al escritor colombiano, una selección fotográfica, y la valoración que hace hoy Vargas Llosa de la vida y obra de García Márquez.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

There are more valuable lessons about crafting a novel in this book than in any literature school." Juan Gabriel Vasquez.

In September of 1967, a young Gabriel García Márquez and Mario Vargas Llosa met in Lima to discuss Latin American literature. The first had already sold thousands of copies of One Hundred Years of Solitude. The second had just won the Rómulo Gallegos Award for The Green House.

Today both are universally considered two of the greatest examples of Spanish literature, but at that time they were two young people who were beginning their careers as novelists. In Dos soledades, two writers, two literary geniuses, two different ways of understanding literature, two somewhat contradictory temperaments, two different ways of narrating, are placed face-to-face. These were the times when the boom was brewing, when a name had not yet been coined for what we know today as "magical realism." In these exciting pages, the reader witnesses a conversation like no other.

This edition incorporates texts by Juan Gabriel Vásquez, Luis Rodríguez Pastor, José Miguel Oviedo, Abelardo Oquendo, Abelardo Sánchez León and Ricardo González Vigil, who recall, the majority as bystanders, that dialogue; and, in addition, two interviews with the Colombian writer, a selection of photographs, and Vargas Llosa's assessment of the life and work of García Márquez today.

Fabric way to heavy.
Fit Type: Regular, Size: Medium, Color: White
Cute, but material is WAY to heavy, like the heaviest duty denim I've ever seen. Wanted this to be a cute coverup. If you're needing something while breaking broncos or riding your motorcycle would probably be great. I kept it for a while because it was good quality and well made, but it ended up in the donation pile as I'd never wear this.

Old school denim — not stretchy
Fit Type: Regular, Size: X-Small, Color: Authentic Medium Wash
Fabric used is old school denim — not the thin, stretchy stuff that pretty much everything called “denim” is today. It is 99% cotton (20% of which is recycled cotton) and 1% elastane, but I can’t feel any stretch in the fabric. It is a substantial, non-stretchy denim that gives the jacket really good structure. It has a higher end fit and look than the price would suggest. I wanted a more fitted denim jacket so ordered an XS even though according to the size chart I need a small. (I have a 34.5” bust, 28” waist at 118 pounds 5’4”.) It still buttons over a t shirt or lightweight sweater with freedom for movement/without being tight, but if I wanted a roomy fit or the ability to wear a heavier sweater or sweatshirt underneath and still be able to comfortably button it I would have needed a small. The shoulders are cut broad — I have very broad shoulders and the XS surprisingly fits my shoulders well. This jacket may not be the greatest fit for you if you have very narrow shoulders, unless you are going for an oversized look.
