Chronicle of a Death Foretold

The "flaw" in this title is obvious at a first glance. The two words "chronicle" and "foretold" do not make sense in this context. This is why i am suspicious of any flaw in the first place. If indeed there is a flaw in the title , it was intentionally placed there by the author. Maybe the book is the chronicle of the foretelling of the death instead of a recount of the death itself . In this case the title would not be flawed at all. The title does not really clue the reader into whether this death has taken place or not but if this book is a chronicle of the foretelling of the death then it is probably safe to assume that the person has not died yet.
