"Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendía was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice."
Beautiful. Have you read Steven Millhouse? If you like GGM I think you'll like him.
No I haven't - is there a particular book you'd recommend?
He won a Pulitzer for the novel Martin Dressler but I haven't read it. His short stories, however, are fantastic. The Barnum Museum is maybe the best collection? I'm not sure. Read Eisenheim the Illusionist. They made a kinda shitty movie that has nothing to do with it starring Paul Giamatti
One of the most beautifully written novels I've ever read.
