philosojerk: I found Martinez's style in Purgatory very reminiscent of Marquez's in One Hundred Years. If you enjoyed one of them, you would probably enjoy the other.
"It is easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of [nagging wives][sic]." — Fredric Jameson Márquez
Spivak occasionally comments on how so-called "magical realism" became the identifiable trait of the so-called "subaltern novel" in large part due to the geographical proximity of these writers to English-language publishers in the United States. The category of magical-subaltern-realism seems particularly fraught because it remains to be seen whether a text has ever survived the insertion of such an Intra-Fabular Device, and which therefore functions to condemn these works twice.

A classic first published in 1967 - I read this very, very bizarre book on the recommendation of my creative writing teacher while stationed in Newport, Oregon, back around 1999. I had written a particular piece about how my father loved to pour concrete and create things with it. He made rows of concrete fish for yard decor and large potted planters for placement throughout the yard. Then came the concrete covered parking, then the concrete patio near the bayou, and finally just a large oval concrete slab for us three girls to roller skate on and play tetherball. By the time he was finished, many years later, he had concreted about 3/4 of our property.
She said my writing style in that story was just like this author's and that I should read it. I can't say I loved it or even understood or remember just what it was he was writing about. I seem to remember something about a guy who fell asleep under a tree and didn't wake up for a thousand years later. It's now 2021. I would have to reread it to remember what it was even about. ( )

Last words
Before reaching the final line, however, he had already understood that he would never leave that room, for it was foreseen that the city of mirrors (or mirages) would be wiped out by the wind and exiled from the memory of men at the precise moment when Aureliano Babilonia would finish deciphering the parchments, and that everything written on them was unrepeatable since time immemorial and forever more, because races condemned to one hundred years of solitude did not have a second opportunity on earth.
Sin embargo, antes de llegar al verso final ya había comprendido que no saldría jamás de ese cuarto, pues estaba previsto que la ciudad de los espejos (o los espejismos) sería arrasada por el viento y desterrada de la memoria de los hombres en el instante en que Aureliano Babilonia acabara de descifrar los pergaminos, y que todo lo escrito en ellos era irrepetible desde siempre y para siempre porque las estirpes condenadas a cien años de soledad no tenían una segunda oportunidad sobre la tierra.

Book description
Da José Arcadio ad Aureliano, dalla scoperta del ghiaccio alla decifrazione delle pergamene di Melquíades: sette generazioni di Buendía inseguono un destino ineluttabile. Con questo romanzo tumultuoso che usa i toni della favola, sorretto da un linguaggio portentoso e da una prodigiosa fantasia, Gabriel García Márquez ha saputo rifondare la realtà e, attraverso Macondo, creare un vero e proprio paradigma dell'esistenza umana. Un universo di solitudini incrociate, impenetrabili ed eterne, in cui galleggia una moltitudine di eroi. Edizione del cinquantenario (1967-2017). (piopas)
Haiku summary
