    Quite a pitty indeed. Still have his book 100 years of lonelyness, laying about somewhere.

    Still need to read it though.

    Solitude you oaf. Read it, great book. It's all really tragic but it's also really funny.

    It is but if you're looking for something more accessible to get an idea of whether or not you like his style you could try 'Twaalf zwerfverhalen' which is a collection of short stories.

    Don't know the English title, but 'Kroniek van een aangekondigde dood' is also great. I love tragic-comedy, he's a master of it.
