What Gabo: The Creation of Gabriel García Márquez Is About
Gabriel García Márquez grew up in a small town on the Caribbean coast of Colombia, fed on the stories his grandparents told. He worked as a journalist, went hungry in Europe, settled in Mexico and wrote One Hundred Years of Solitude there. He was given the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1982. The documentary builds that path out of what the people who knew him say. Justin Webster's film does not only praise the writer's life; his friendship with Fidel Castro and the argument it caused in Latin America are described too. Among those who speak are the literary agent Carmen Balcells, the journalist Jon Lee Anderson, the writer Juan Gabriel Vásquez and Bill Clinton. The telling explains magical realism not as a technique but as the ordinary way of talking on that coast.
