★This book will certainly offer more insights into novels than you will ever learn in any liberal arts department.

These words may seem like the work of survivors of a shipwreck, but I am certain they will enlighten and inspire a reader—and perhaps a future novelist. —Juan Gabriel Vázquez (contemporary Colombian writer)

That conversation connected life and literature, theory and practice, fantasy and reality, and introduced a wealth of knowledge about novels and novelists. The narrative magic of García Márquez and Vargas Llosa permeated the entire conversation, and no one noticed the passage of time. —Abelardo Ogondo (Peruvian literary critic)

★ More than half a century later, after so much literary water has flowed under the bridge, this book brings the most important key message. - Spain's El País

In 1967, "One Hundred Years of Solitude" was published with unprecedented fanfare. Vargas Llosa and Gabriel García Márquez, both young novelists, held an extremely bizarre conversation in Lima, like two young pterosaurs asking each other "What the hell is evolution?" - this became the only conversation in the lives of the two future literary masters.

From the time he wrote to Vargas Llosa in 1968, refusing to publish their conversation in a book, García Márquez had deliberately and carefully crafted his own legend.

Nevertheless, Conversations was released in limited quantities, and it has since become García Márquez's most pirated, photocopied, and clandestinely circulated work.

Now, half a century has passed, and we finally encounter the texts of these shipwreck survivors, returning to that exciting era and reliving the initial splendor and final frame of the "literary boom".
