Books by Gabriel García Márquez

Gabriel García Marquez, The Scandal of the Century, and Other Writings .  His early journalistic pieces are a revelation, both for their connections to a Borges-Cortázar style, and for how they show the roots of his later more literary productions.  His best-known work is perhaps overrated, but his body of work as a whole is still considerably underrated, and this volume will add to your appreciation of him.

Everyone reads One Hundred Years of Solitude and Love in the Time of Cholera but actually my favorites are some of the early short fiction and also News of a Kidnapping [Noticio de un Secuestro], plus the unfinished autobiography .

5. Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Yo no vengo a decir un discurso .  Transcripts of some of his lectures, so far very eloquent although the level of substance remains to be seen.
