# Gabriel García Márquez

> He made the world believe a woman could ascend to heaven while folding sheets and that a town could be erased by collective amnesia. García Márquez didn't just write novels; he rewired what fiction could hold — the ordinary and the impossible occupying the same sentence, the same breath.

## Bio

Born 6 March 1927 in Colombia, Gabriel José García Márquez left law school for journalism and spent years sharpening his eye in newsrooms, never shy about skewering politics at home or abroad. In 1967 he published One Hundred Years of Solitude, a multi-generation saga set in the fictional village of Macondo that has since sold over fifty million copies and made magic realism a living tradition. The novels that followed — Chronicle of a Death Foretold in 1981, Love in the Time of Cholera in 1985 — cemented him as the most-translated Spanish-language author alive. In 1982 he won the Nobel Prize in Literature for combining the fantastic and the realistic in a richly composed world reflecting a continent's life and conflicts. He married Mercedes Barcha Pardo in 1958; they had two sons, Rodrigo and Gonzalo. When he died on 17 April 2014, Colombia's president called him the greatest Colombian who ever lived.
