GABITO

Submitted by ub on

Gabriel José de la Concordia García Márquez was a Colombian novelist, author, screenwriter, and journalist, known as GABITO.

Gabriel García Márquez was born on this date in 1927 in the small town of Aracataca, situated in a tropical region of northern Colombia, between the mountains and the Caribbean Sea. He grew up with his maternal grandparent – his grandfather was a pensioned colonel from the civil war at the beginning of the century. He went to a Jesuit college and began to read law, but his studies were soon broken off for his work as a journalist. In 1954 he was sent to Rome* on an assignment for his newspaper, and since then he has mostly lived abroad – in Paris, New York, Barcelona, and Mexico – in a more or less compulsory exile. Besides his large output of fiction, he has written screenplays and continued to work as a journalist until his death in Mexico.

If one aspires to be a good writer, they must also be a consistent reader. 

Remember Nobel Prize-Winner Gabriel García Márquez, “It is life, more than death, that has no limits.”  https://www.newyorklatinculture.com/gabriel-garcia-marquez/

One of my favorites is love in a time of cholera. The novel's most prominent theme suggests that lovesickness is a literal illness, a plague comparable to cholera. Florentino Ariza suffers from lovesickness as one would suffer from cholera, enduring both physical and emotional pains as he longs for Fermina Daza.

He was lovingly called Gabito. This novel was made into a major motion picture. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0484740/
