Gabriel García Márquez: La hojarasca (Spanish language, 1977, Editorial Sudamericana)

First published in 1955 but not translated into English until 1972 this slim novel is set in the fictional town of Macondo, the setting for Garcia Marquez’s later novel One Hundred Years of Solitude. Many of the characters and themes from that novel were first given life here. The novella is not to be confused with the short story collection of the same name.
