I certainly do like the stories and literature that Gabriel Garcia Marquez writes. Do you know One Hundred Years of Solitude? Well, if you do, then he is the culprit behind that.Tell you the truth, I honestly do not like the way he writes his literature. They are too deep for me. However, I do like the shortened versions. Those that show just the gist and the important information of his creations. Don’t get me wrong. He writes beautiful stories.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez was born in 1928, the 6th of March to be exact, in Aracataca, Colombia. He studied journalism in the National University of Colombia as well as in the University of Cartagena. He worked in newspaper offices as a journalist. He also served as a foreign correspondent in Rome and in Paris for Bogota’s El Respectador. He also held jobs like a screenwriter, and publicist. He won the Nobel prize for literature in 1982.
His works, you may ask?
* One Hundred Years of Solitude (1967) – recounts the history of the fictional Colombian village of Macondo and its founders
* Leaf-storm and Other Stories
* No One Writes to the Colonel and Other Stories
* Autumn of the Patriarch
