«La mala hora» is the novel by Gabriel García Márquez, published by Plaza & Janés in paperback (216 pages, in Spanish).
In a Colombian town trying to recover after a civil war, the usual rumors materialize in anonymous notices nailed to doors. The private lives of the neighbors are exposed and distrust takes hold of everyone; the violence contained beneath the surface begins to make its way among the inhabitants.
The novel was originally published in 1962; this Spanish-language edition is from 1997. The author received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1982.
For readers of twentieth-century Latin American fiction and for those who want to discover García Márquez's work before Cien años de soledad.
Gabriel José García Márquez was a Colombian writer and journalist, known affectionately as Gabo or Gabito throughout Latin America. Considered one of the most significant authors of the 20th century, particularly in the Spanish language, he was awarded the 1972 Neustadt International Prize for Literature and the 1982 Nobel Prize in Literature. He pursued a self-directed education that resulted in leaving law school for a career in journalism. From early on he showed no inhibitions in his criticism of Colombian and foreign politics. In 1958, he married Mercedes Barcha Pardo; they had two sons, Rodrigo and Gonzalo.
