【Content Introduction】

García Márquez, author of "One Hundred Years of Solitude" and a giant of Latin American literature, enjoyed global bestseller status and garnered the kind of attention rivaling that of a movie star. Yet, there was only one role he truly desired to play, one as ancient and enigmatic as that of the storyteller. "The García Márquez Interviews" curates key interviews with this master storyteller over two decades, clearly and systematically outlining the trajectory of his early, middle, and later careers, providing invaluable firsthand material for understanding and studying the man and his life. This collection of improvisations unleashes García Márquez's unrestrained narratives, recounting both real and imagined stories: his childhood, his grandparents, and his love affairs; his career as a journalist, the hardships and joys of writing; his reflections on Kafka and Faulkner; his Caribbean roots, his left-wing views, his friendship with Castro; his perspectives on film and music... This interview collection is like a magical box of stories, capturing García Márquez's authentic voice, his intimate moments, and the sparks of his thoughts. Magical realism flows here, and the art of conversation is on full display.
