Leaf Storm

Leaf Storm

Summary

'Suddenly, as if a whirlwind had set down roots in the center of the town, the banana company arrived, pursued by the leaf storm'

A blizzard of slums descends on Macondo; the inhabitants reel at the accompanying stench. When the banana company leaves town as fast as it arrived, they are left with a void of decay.

Living in this soulless wasteland is one last honourable man, who is determined to fulfil a longstanding promise, however unpalatable.

Leaf Storm is re-issued on Gabriel García Márquez 's birthday to celebrate the publication of his books in ebook for the first time.
