Contributor(s): Author: Gabriel Garcia Marquez Translator: Edith Grossman No writer of his time exerted the magical appeal of Gabriel Garc a M rquez. In this long-awaited autobiography, the great Nobel laureate tells the story of his life from his birth in1927 to the moment in the 1950s when he proposed to his wife. The result is as spectacular as his finest fiction. Here is Garc a M rquez's shimmering evocation of his childhood home of Aracataca, the basis of the fictional Macondo. Here are the members of his ebulliently eccentric family. Here are the forces that turned him into a writer. Warm, revealing, abounding in images so vivid that we seem to be remembering them ourselves, Living to Tell the Tale is a work of enchantment.   Review citations New York Times - pg. 58 - 11/14/2004 Kliatt / Best Of The Best/Highly Recommended - pg. 34 - 03/01/2005 Kliatt / Exceptional Presentation - pg. 34 - 03/01/2005 Kliatt / Book Of Special Distinction - pg. 34 - 03/01/2005 Kliatt / Top 15 Book Of The Year - pg. 34 - 03/01/2005 Kliatt / Highly Recommended - pg. 34 - 03/01/2005
