About the author
Gabriel García Márquez
980 books41.4k followersGabriel José de la Concordia García Márquez was a Colombian novelist, short-story writer, screenwriter and journalist. García Márquez, familiarly known as "Gabo" in his native country, was considered one of the most significant authors of the 20th century. In 1982, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.
He studied at the University of Bogotá and later worked as a reporter for the Colombian newspaper El Espectador and as a foreign correspondent in Rome, Paris, Barcelona, Caracas, and New York. He wrote many acclaimed non-fiction works and short stories, but is best-known for his novels, such as One Hundred Years of Solitude (1967) and Love in the Time of Cholera (1985). His works have achieved significant critical acclaim and widespread commercial success, most notably for popularizing a literary style labeled as magical realism, which uses magical elements and events in order to explain real experiences. Some of his works are set in a fictional village called Macondo, and most of them express the theme of solitude.
Having previously written shorter fiction and screenplays, García Márquez sequestered himself away in his Mexico City home for an extended period of time to complete his novel Cien años de soledad, or One Hundred Years of Solitude, published in 1967. The author drew international acclaim for the work, which ultimately sold tens of millions of copies worldwide. García Márquez is credited with helping introduce an array of readers to magical realism, a genre that combines more conventional storytelling forms with vivid, layers of fantasy.
Another one of his novels, El amor en los tiempos del cólera (1985), or Love in the Time of Cholera, drew a large global audience as well. The work was partially based on his parents' courtship and was adapted into a 2007 film starring Javier Bardem. García Márquez wrote seven novels during his life, with additional titles that include El general en su laberinto (1989), or The General in His Labyrinth, and Del amor y otros demonios (1994), or Of Love and Other Demons.

Como todxs sabemos, leer a GGM es más o menos el equivalente a tener un muy buen trip, y eso lo sentí mucho con esta historia. Los elementos de fantasía me encantaron más que los de 100 años de soledad, porque al ser una novela de apenas cincuenta páginas es más fácil meterse en el mundo que te propone. Los temas son difíciles, pero interesantes. No sé cuál era la intención de Garcia Marquez en su portrayal del abuso y la violación, pero la interpretación que le dí en mi cabeza me gustó bastante y me pareció válida. No recuerdo que 100 años propusiera algo tan progresista, de hecho creo que era el contrario, que a pesar de tocar los mismos temas las mujeres de la historia difícilmente se liberaban de su rol en la sociedad patriarcal. Overall, a slay.
