The works of Gabriel García Márquez have drawn international praise for their highly symbolic and marvelously ethereal representations of Latin America’s social, political, and cultural psyche. In this program, the author discusses his life and work from a highly personal plane, delving deeply into the reasons why he writes, his intuitive methods, and the influences over time, especially the women in his family, which color his work. From a sunlit square in Cartagena, the setting for his second novel, Love in the Time of Cholera, he analyzes its plot and the motives of each main character, drawing interesting parallels between their fictional situations and those experienced by real-life characters from his youth. (Spanish, 44 minutes)
