"In the land where Nobel laureate Gabriel García Márquez's magical realism reigns, there has always been a blurry line between reality and fiction. So it was hardly surprising when the fantastical case of 144 Colombian army soldiers who found and pocketed at least $16 million in guerrilla stash went to the big screen this month in the same week that 53 of those soldiers were sentenced by military tribunal. The rest are on the run."

"Even so, we have not had Marquez's life like this before. It's the first of three planned volumes and while the narrative, putatively, ends with him about to marry his wife Mercedes four decades ago, it freely plucks, as needed, fruits from the whole blooming tree of his life. Though, it should surprise no one that it is beautifully - yes, perhaps even magically-- written from page to page, no one has the right to assume a translation as fine as Edith Grossman's turns out to be." -Editor's Choice
