In this exhaustive and enlightening biography—nearly two decades
in the making—Gerald Martin dexterously traces the life and times
of one of the twentieth century’s greatest literary titans, Nobel
Prize-winner Gabriel García Márquez.
Martin chronicles the particulars of an extraordinary life, from
his upbringing in backwater Columbia and early journalism career,
to the publication of One Hundred Years of Solitude at age
forty, and the wealth and fame that followed. Based on interviews
with more than three hundred of Garcia Marquez’s closest friends,
family members, fellow authors, and detractors—as well as the many
hours Martin spent with ‘Gabo’ himself—the result is a revelation
of both the writer and the man. It is as gripping as any of Gabriel
García Márquez’s powerful journalism, as enthralling as any of his
acclaimed and beloved fiction.
