"Nada se parece tanto al infierno como un matrimonio feliz!" Asi inicia Graciela -esposa de un hombre acomodado, en la antesala de las bodas de plata de su matrimonio- su monologo, su dialogo frustrado mas bien, sobre la dicha y la infelicidad intima, sobre el paralelismo entre el ascenso social y el crecimiento del desamor. Graciela se dirige a su marido; pero este es un maniqui, un objeto sobre el que proyectar el desencanto de una vida jalonada de perdidas: de la confianza en el, del respeto por el, del valor de sus sentimientos hacia el. Todo para saber que, a pesar de sus rencores, ni siquiera le queda el consuelo de decirle que no le ama. Diatriba de amor contra un hombre sentado, monologo en un acto, es la reconstruccion de una vida compartida y un retrato de una mujer presa de un amor que sabe que no podra compartir, atenazada por una "soledad sonora" sin mistica pero con sordina.
Author
Gabriel José de la Concordia García Márquez was a Colombian novelist, short-story writer, screenwriter and journalist. García Márquez, familiarly known as "Gabo" in his native country, was considered one of the most significant authors of the 20th century. In 1982, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. He studied at the University of Bogotá and later worked as a reporter for the Colombian newspaper El Espectador and as a foreign correspondent in Rome, Paris, Barcelona, Caracas, and New York. He wrote many acclaimed non-fiction works and short stories, but is best-known for his novels, such as One Hundred Years of Solitude (1967) and Love in the Time of Cholera (1985). His works have achieved significant critical acclaim and widespread commercial success, most notably for popularizing a literary style labeled as magical realism, which uses magical elements and events in order to explain real experiences. Some of his works are set in a fictional village called Macondo, and most of them express the theme of solitude. Having previously written shorter fiction and screenplays, García Márquez sequestered himself away in his Mexico City home for an extended period of time to complete his novel Cien años de soledad, or One Hundred Years of Solitude, published in 1967. The author drew international acclaim for the work, which ultimately sold tens of millions of copies worldwide. García Márquez is credited with helping introduce an array of readers to magical realism, a genre that combines more conventional storytelling forms with vivid, layers of fantasy. Another one of his novels, El amor en los tiempos del cólera (1985), or Love in the Time of Cholera, drew a large global audience as well. The work was partially based on his parents' courtship and was adapted into a 2007 film starring Javier Bardem. García Márquez wrote seven novels during his life, with additional titles that include El general en su laberinto (1989), or The General in His Labyrinth, and Del amor y otros demonios (1994), or Of Love and Other Demons.
