I received a translated *Pedro Paramo* as part of a RedditGifts book exchange a few years ago and loved it. It’s been a while since I read Gabriel García Márquez, but maybe it’s time again.
> “Pedro Páramo” is meant to be read three times before it is understood. Readers, he explained, would probably face as many challenges reading it as he did writing it.
And maybe it’s time to re-read Pedro Paramo. too. I only have one read under my belt.
