My favorite writer, so far, is a colombian author named Gabriel García Marquez. H|e was born on March 6, 1928 and he is well known for being part of the novelistic boom in Latin America, writing what would be called magic realism. This is about showing the unreal or strange as something cotidian. Between his books there are "crónicas de una muerte anunciada", "amor en tiempos de colera", "del amor y otros demonios" and the most important one: "cien años de soledad". This is because thanks to it, magic realims was put on the map.
García Marquez won the noble prize on 1982, thanks to a long and celebrated career. It was a particular premation in stockholm for he asisted with friends and folk musiscians from his country, wearing the traditional suit of his land, the "liquiliqui".
His friendship with Fidel Castro and a kind of agreement in his way of seeing politics in Latin America, made his image a very unpleassent in United States and in some countries of South America, mostly because of actual the political climate in those years. however, he is still my favorite writer.💗
A great writer and pride of Latinoamérica.
