The colonel and his wife, who have lost their son to political repression, are struggling with poverty and financial instability. The corruption of the local and national officials is evident and this is a topic which García Márquez explores throughout the novel, by using references to censorship and the impact of government on society. The colonel desperately tries to sell their inheritance from their only son who is now dead and eventually the only reminder of his existence is a rooster that the colonel trains to take part in a cockfight.\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 0307475441\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9780307475442\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: García Márquez, Gabriel, N\/A, N\/A\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Vintage Espanol\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vintage Espanol","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Apr 2010)","offer_id":45658003931333,"sku":"9780307475442","price":19.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9780307475442.jpg?v=1768896831"},{"product_id":"the-dream-life-of-larry-rios","title":"The Dream Life of Larry Rios","description":"\u003cp\u003eLarry Rios, Chicano poet extraordinaire, has a chip on his shoulder and a bone to pick with literature.

En estos once cuentos el lector se ve obligado a olvidarse de sí mismo para seguir las peripecias e investigaciones de cuerpos que desaparecen o bien reaparecen en el momento menos esperado. Ya sea una trabajadora social, una policía o un guía turístico, los protagonistas luchan por apadrinar a seres socialmente invisibles, indagando así en el peso de la culpa, la compasión, la crueldad, las dificultades de la convivencia, y en un terror tan hondo como verosímil. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Mariana Enriquez es una de las narradoras más valientes y sorprendentes del siglo XXI, no sólo de la nueva literatura argentina a cargo de escritores nacidos durante la dictadura sino de la literatura de cualquier país o lengua.

But alongside the black magic and disturbing disappearances, these stories are fueled by compassion for the frightened and the lost, ultimately bringing these characters--mothers and daughters, husbands and wives--into a surprisingly familiar reality.

Playful raconteur, child lost and found and lost, guardian of the institutionalized, Juan has a project to pass along, one built around a true artifact of a book--\u003ci\u003eSex Variants: A Study of Homosexual Patterns\u003c\/i\u003e--and its devastating history. This book contains accounts collected in the early twentieth century from queer subjects by a queer researcher, Jan Gay, whose groundbreaking work was then co-opted by a committee, her name buried. The voices of these subjects have been filtered, muted, but it is possible to hear them from within and beyond the text, which, in Juan's tattered volumes, has been redacted with black marker on nearly every page. As Juan waits for his end, he and the narrator recount for each other moments of joy and oblivion; they resurrect loves, lives, mothers, fathers, minor heroes. In telling their own stories and the story of the book, they resist the ravages of memory and time.
