Viewed on 24 January, 2008.||"La vida no es la que uno vivió, sino la que recuerda y cómo la recuerda para contarla" (Life is not what one lived, but how one remembers, and how one tells the tale). This is how Gabriel García Márquez begins the first volume of his memoirs, Vivir para contarla, whose world premiere is the 9th of October in Barcelona, Bogotá, Buenos Aires, and Mexico City. Meanwhile, Alvaro Mutis, friend of the Colombian Nobel, and one of the few people that has read the manuscript, has no doubt in his mind that he has "read a classic."

Originally published in the Los Angeles Times.||"It may be too easy a wisecrack to call them the Gang that Couldn't Steal Straight. But the joke definitely was on the Colombian bootleggers who put out a pirated edition of Gabriel García Márquez's new novella last week, apparently not realizing that the Nobel Prize-winning author had made some last-minute changes to the ending."

Notes:
"You wouldn't expect the autobiography of Nobel Prize-winner Gabriel García Márquez to be just another life story. After all, this is the fellow who made magic realism into a literary brand. You know he has tricks up his sleeve... This isn't going to be just the facts. Living to Tell the Tale is a life reconstructed in the imagination." -Good

Notes:
The author presents two comparative tables of the top five books chosen by García Márquez and a poll done by the magazine. Pluma also publishes as an homage to García Márquez, the whole text of a response letter from Gabriel García Márquez to Rossana Rossanda in relation to an interview that she conducted with him. García Márquez refused to answer a question in person and preferred to write about it. This text had never been published other than in some columns that Gabriel García Márquez has used on the side.
