The previous reviewers have already discussed the story in detail, so I will not go into it. I saw this story as a play, twice, at Repertorio Espanol in NYC. The sets and acting were excellent. I loved both of the very imaginatively and colorfully staged productions. The Repertorio does not produce it anymore, I think because it is too expensive. Then I happened to see the film on television a few years ago which, much to my surprise, was also very imaginative and excellent. I am so disappointed that I cannot buy the DVD. I will have to content myself with the book. Perhaps it will be produced again someday as a film. Gabriel Garcia Marquez had a son who writes and directs screenplays. He is just the opposite of his father, whose writing style was magical realism. His son's style is in-your-face realism. Anyway, I wonder if he would be interested in imitating his father and producing Erendira for us.
