El retorno de "El Gabo"

"Memorias de mis putas tristes" by GABRIEL GARCIA MARQUEZ

When the Colombian writer Gabriel García Márquez sit down to write the entire Spanish-speaking world sit down to read.

The most influential writer of the Spanish language for the last few decades, "El Gabo", as he is nicknamed, has single handedly created the "realismo mágico" movement.

Throughout the decades, he has chronicled with his passionate prose a Latin American world where the facts of the story mingled with the effervescent imagination of the story teller and the self-reflection of the reader.

Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature 1982, García Márquez is known
worldwide for his novel "Cien Años de Soledad", a legendary best seller in Spanish and in all the languages that it has been translated into.

After the success of his memoirs "Vivir para Contarla" now "El Gabo" is back with "Memorias de mis putas tristes". I am currently reading this latest release and I will post a review soon. In the meantime, I will leave you with this quote from "Vivir para Contarla":

"La vida no es la que uno ha vivido, sino la que uno recuerda y
como la recuerda para contarla"
