Sinopse

At 80, Gabriel García Márquez works, speaks, moves, and creates as if every second were vital. One of the rare living writers to deserve the nickname "great," Gabo surprises with each new work. In "I Didn't Come to Make a Speech," he proves himself a crowd-pleaser, though he always admits to not feeling entirely comfortable in the prominent position the microphone affords its user. In this captivating account, the Colombian Nobel Prize winner shares the memories of his speeches. These texts help us understand his life more deeply and reveal his greatest obsessions as a writer and citizen: his fervent vocation for literature, his commitment to simplifying grammar, his passion for journalism, and his concern in the face of the looming ecological disaster. He also analyzes Colombia's problems and the emotional memory of writer friends like Julio Cortázar and Álvaro Mutis, among many others. The beginning of his career as a journalist is also present in these delightful stories. The son of a Colombian telegraph operator, Gabo offers us in this book the memory of more than six decades of his thought. From a humble yet sagacious and curious young man, he became one of the sacred monsters of world literature. "I Didn't Come to Make a Speech" is the indispensable complement to one of the most important narrative works of the last century. Always sublime, Gabriel García Márquez presents us with this narrative gem brimming with wisdom, memory, and good humor, which further enhances his literary genius.
