Gabriel García Márquez, author of Living to Tell the Tale

Here is Gabriel García Márquez’s shimmering evocation of his childhood home of Aracataca, the basis of the fictional Macondo. Here are the members of his ebulliently eccentric family. Here are the forces that turned him into a writer. Warm, revealing, abounding in images so vivid that we seem to be remembering them ourselves, LIVING TO TELL THE TALE is a work of enchantment.
