It spans Gabriel García Márquez’s life from his birth in 1927 through the start of his career as a writer to the moment in the 1950s when he proposed to the woman who would become his wife. It has the shape, the quality, and the vividness of a conversation with the reader—a tale of people, places, and events as they occur to him: the colorful stories of his eccentric family members; the great influence of his mother and maternal grandfather; his consuming career in journalism, and the friends and mentors who encouraged him; the myths and mysteries of his beloved Colombia; personal details, undisclosed until now, that would appear later, transmuted and transposed, in his fiction; and, above all, his fervent desire to become a writer. And, as in his fiction, the narrator here is an inspired observer of the physical world, able to make clear the emotions and passions that lie at the heart of a life—in this instance, his own.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLiving to Tell the Tale \u003c\/em\u003eis a radiant, powerful, and beguiling memoir that gives us the formation of Gabriel García Márquez as a writer and a man. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gabriel García Márquez","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43021127155830,"sku":null,"price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/5662\/4502\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_f792d823-0368-475a-bb70-fb36f6981ddd.jpg?v=1770753363"}],"url":"https:\/\/breadandrosespress.com\/collections\/knopf.oembed","provider":"Bread \u0026 Roses Press","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
