Sinopse

"I Didn't Come to Make a Speech" is an indispensable complement to the work of one of the most renowned and beloved authors of recent times. Always sublime, Gabriel García Márquez dissects his own speeches and presents his readers with this book full of wisdom, memories, and good humor, which further enhances his literary genius.

The writings by Gabriel García Márquez collected in this book span virtually his entire life. From his first speech, written at age 17 to bid farewell to his high school classmates in the Colombian city of Zipaquirá, to the one he delivered at the Cartagena Convention Center on his 80th birthday, García Márquez proves himself a crowd-pleaser, though he always admits to feeling uncomfortable in the prominent position the microphone affords to those who wield it.

The Nobel Prize winner's speeches help us understand his life more deeply and reveal his greatest obsessions as a writer and citizen: his fervent vocation for literature, his controversial proposal to simplify grammar, his passion for journalism, Colombia's problems, and his emotional remembrance of writer friends like Julio Cortázar and Álvaro Mutis, among many others. The reader holds in their hands this indispensable work for understanding one of the most important literary productions of the last century.
