It’s the stuff of literary dreams: a new “lost” novel from Gabriel García Márquez, the celebrated Colombian author of One Hundred Years of Solitude (1967) and Love in the Time of Cholera (1985), will be published in English next week.
Metaphorically shoved to the back of Márquez’s desk drawer, Until August was the Nobel Prize-winning author’s last work. The writer was grappling with dementia while writing the novel, and though he initially signed off the book, one of Márquez’s last wishes was for it to remain unpublished.
