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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eLiving to Tell the Tale\u003c\/i\u003e is a radiant, powerful, and beguiling memoir that gives us the formation of Gabriel García Márquez as a writer and as a man.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Knopf","offers":[{"title":"Living to Tell the Tale | Gabriel García Márquez | Hardcover | 1400041341 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks B 1777666","offer_id":49765891342488,"sku":"1777666","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61FkldMJByL.jpg?v=1787971607","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/living-to-tell-the-tale","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
