Ten years after the Nobel Prize winner’s death, a new book by Gabriel García Márquez is published – and is causing a sensation. There is a special cult around works that almost never saw the light of day. A story of mothers and widows, genius and madness.
What is the greatest book, the most legendary film, the most legendary record of all time? If you ask fans and connoisseurs, it is surprisingly often works of art that hardly anyone has read, seen or heard of. Those that remained unfinished, went missing or only appeared years later. Gabriel García Márquez died in 2014, and now his book “See you in August” is coming out – only a slim 144 pages, but because it comes from the Nobel Prize winner for literature and perhaps South America’s greatest author, the world is holding its breath. A final work for eternity?
