I haven't seen "Erendira" either, nor have I read "Erendira and Her
Cruel Grandmother," but I do remember that the same character --
perhaps with a different name and a slightly different background story
-- appeared in passing in "One Hundred Years of Solitude."  Like many
authors, Garcia Marquez frequently lets things spill over from one book
to another.  Since "Solitude" is the one book by Garcia Marquez that
most people are familiar with, it's not surprising that ads and
reviewers have tended to emphasize its connection with the movie over
that of his other book.

I'm sorry to hear that some have found the movie a disappointment.  I
hope to see it soon.  It's about time that some of the fruits of Latin
American literature start showing up as movies -- there's so much
potential there.
