I don't think García Marquez was inspired by Salman Rushdie's “The Satanic Verses”. As far as I know, One Hundred Years of Solitude was published in 1965, and that of the English writer in 1988. Now, if you tell me that the Colombian Nobel inspired both, it would be very plausible. In fact, Gabo once testified his fascination for Rulfo's narrative.

If you dare to read some Rulfo, you won't regret it.

Thanks for stopping by and leaving your comment. Have a nice weekend.
