The Scandal of the Century: and Other Writings
Autor Gabriel Garcia Marquezen Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 aug 2020
"I don't want to be remembered forOne Hundred Years of Solitudeor for the Nobel Prize but rather for my journalism," Gabriel García Márquez said in the final years of his life. And while some of his journalistic writings have been made available over the years, this is the first volume to gather a representative selection from across the first four decades of his career--years during which he worked as a full-time, often muckraking, and controversial journalist, even as he penned the fiction that would bring him the Nobel Prize in 1982. Here are the first pieces he wrote while working for newspapers in the coastal Colombian cities of Cartagena and Barranquilla . . . his longer, more fictionlike reportage from Paris and Rome . . . his monthly columns for Spain'sEl País.And while all the work points in style, wit, depth, and passion to his fiction, these fifty pieces are, more than anything, a revelation of the writer working at the profession he believed to be "the best in the world."
'García Márquez always thought of himself as a journalist first and foremost and this brilliant collection goes a long way towards justifying that belief.' Salman Rushdie

Recenzii
García
Márquez
always
thought
of
himself
as
a
journalist
first
and
foremost
and
this
brilliant
collection
goes
a
long
way
towards
justifying
that
belief.
Or,
at
least,
it
puts
his
journalism
on
the
same
level
as
his
fiction,
which
is
quite
some
level.
The articles and columns inThe Scandal of the Centurydemonstrate that his forthright, lightly ironical voice just seemed to be there, right from the start. . . . He's among those rare great fiction writers whose ancillary work is almost always worth finding. . . . He had a way of connecting the souls in all his writing, fiction and nonfiction, to the melancholy static of the universe.
In his journalism, García Márquez's prose was as precise, euphonious and inventive as it was in his fiction. Only a magician of a translator like Anne McLean could get it right. For anyone who has been enthralled byOne Hundred Years of Solitude,The Scandal of the Centuryis an essential book.
