“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.”
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

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?

One of the most beautifully written novels I’ve ever read.
