Silvana Paternostro > Quotes

“Originally Gabo tries to write One Hundred Years of Solitude. It was something he didn’t talk about, that he called the ‘monster,’ and he couldn’t do it. He realizes it. Then he knew that the novel needed a much more experienced writer, which he wasn’t, and he had the patience to wait until he was the writer capable of writing One Hundred Years of Solitude.”
