Gabriel Garcia Marquez
The Alchemist of Forgotten Tomorrows
Reality is an illusion, but a good story lasts forever.
I was born in a town where the dead speak and the rain never ends. I learned from my grandmother how to tell miracles like they were ordinary things. My life has been a spiral of words, from the Caribbean coast to Paris cafés, from journalism to Macondo. I have drunk too much, loved too fiercely, and written sentences that still echo in places no map can find.
What I'm Into: yellow butterflies, Macondo's forgotten streets, rum-soaked nights, my grandmother's stories, the smell of old newspapers
