Gabriel Garcia Marquez: having a full choice, I’d choose a Nobel Prize Winner to write my story. This sensitive man died in April 2014. His best known books were: ‘One Hundred Years Of Solitude’, and ‘Love in the Time of Cholera’. He had much sound advice to share. Gabriel Garcia Marquez on His Unlikely Beginnings as a Writer.

“The girl raised her eyes to see who was passing by the window, and that casual glance was the beginning of a cataclysm of love that still had not ended half a century later.” — Love in the Time of Cholera

I like him very much. I especially like an idea that came out of 100 Years of Solitude, that nostalgia is a deadly disease. How cool to have him turn your life into magical images.
