About the Gabo Y Mercedes: Una Despedida / A Farewell To Gabo And Mercedes (Hardcover Book)

Finalista del 2021 National Book Critics Circle 2021

La crónica íntima de los últimos días de un genio.

 
En marzo de 2014, Gabriel García Márquez, probablemente el escritor más querido en lengua española del siglo XX, ya anciano y enfermo, cayó resfriado. «De esta no salimos», le dijo Mercedes Barcha, su esposa desde hacía más de cincuenta años, a Rodrigo, el hijo de ambos.  Estas páginas son la crónica más íntima y honesta de los últimos días de un genio, escrita con la asombrosa precisión y la distancia justa de un testigo de excepción: el propio Rodrigo.   Así   vemos   el   lado   más   humano   de   un   personaje universal y de la mujer en la que se fijó cuando era una niña de nueve años, que   le   acompañó   toda   la   vida   y   que   apenas   le sobrevivió   unos años, entreverado de recuerdos de   una vida irrepetible. La más hermosa despedida al hijo del telegrafista y su esposa.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Finalist of the 2021 National Book Critics Circle


This is the intimate account of a great genius’ last days.

In March 2014, Gabriel García Márquez, probably the most beloved Spanish language writer of the 20th century, at that time elderly and ill, came down with a cold. "I don’t think we’ll get out of this one," Mercedes Barcha, his wife of over fifty years, told Rodrigo, their son. These pages are the most intimate and honest accounts of the last days of that genius’ life. It is written with amazing meticulousness and with just the right amount of distance by an exceptional witness: Rodrigo himself.

Thus we see the most human side of a universal figure and of the woman he laid his eyes on when they were both very young, the woman who accompanied him his entire life and who barely survived him for a few years after his death, peppered with memories of a unique life. This is the most beautiful farewell to the telegrapher’s son and his wife.
