About Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Gabriel García Márquez, perhaps the world’s most revered living writer and a Nobel Laureate in Literature, began to tell the story of his life in 2003 in Living to Tell the Tale (Knopf). His latest novel, Memories of My Melancholy Whores, will be published in an English edition translated by Edith Grossman in fall 2005 and a collection of interviews, edited by Gene H. Bell-Villada, will appear from the University Press of Mississippi in late 2005.
