Author Bio
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Colombian author Gabriel Garcia Marquez began his career as a journalist for a series of liberal South American newspapers in the late 1940s. Eventually, he began to write fiction, and became part of "The Boom", the second generation of Latin-American writers. Many of his early works were dark and melancholy, influenced by Kafka. In the mid-'60s, Garcia Marquez went through a period of writer's block, but emerged from it with the idea for his masterwork, ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF SOLITUDE set the standard for a literary style that would come to be called Magical Realism. Many of his stories take place in the fictional town of Macondo, a location that seems inspired by William Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha County, and is based on Garcia Marquez's own village of Aracataca. Garcia Marquez won the Nobel Prize in literature in 1982. He is a close friend of Cuban President Fidel Castro and as a result was denied entry to the United States for 33 years, though afterwards he also become a friend of President Bill Clinton. After surviving a bout with cancer in the 1990s, Marquez published MEMORIES OF MY MELANCHOLY WHORES (2004) and in 2008 was rumored to be finishing another novel.
