Relato de un náufrago : que estuvo diez días a la… by Gabriel García Márquez
«Nadie volvió a saber nada del náufrago solitario, hasta hace unos pocos meses en que un periodista extraviado lo encontró detrás de un escritorio en una empresa de autobuses. He visto esa foto: ha aumentado de peso y de edad, y se nota que la vida le ha pasado por dentro, pero le ha dejado el aura serena del héroe que tuvo el valor de dinamitar su propia estatua».
Aunque es más un trabajo periodístico que literario se nota ya la magnífica prosa de Gabo. Lectura rápida y enormemente satisfactoria.
Shame that Gabo's family decided to go ahead with this book after his death.
The author had said this book was not good, battling Alzheimers disease, and yet, the family went ahead and published this book ,i guess, just for the money it might bring.
Shameful.
Gabo was one of the world's greatest writers. For readers new to him, they should not remember his writing based on this awful book.
