A belated farewell blip to [url=http://www.theguardian.com/books/2014/apr/17/gabriel-garcia-marquez-obituary]Gabriel Garcia Marquez who died[/url] on the 17th April. Apparently they held 3 days of mourning for him in Colombia. You can’t imagine any living British writer having that impact. I recommended Love in the Time of Cholera to someone shortly afterwards and they didn’t finish it and found it dull and repetitive. I read it as a romantic young man, I wonder if I would enjoy it now?
