He was one of my favorite authors. I read his books aloud to my son instead of nursery rhymes  when he was a baby. Magical realism and an exquisite command of language.


Rest in peace.

Reading 100 Years Of Solitude was an eye opener for me. His work was a stepping stone towards other monumental literature. I owe him for that.

Marquez' major works have that extra spark that puts it in a league only few enter: you know it'll be around for centuries to come.
