This book was never meant to be published, but sometimes the deciding factor isn't the author's will, but rather the public's interest and the good of literary scholars. Gabriel García Márquez interrupted work on "See You in August" after the first signs of memory loss appeared, even suggesting it should be destroyed. His family, however, decided otherwise, and the edited novel was released on the writer's birthday, ten years after his death. The short text, of course, resembles a ZIP file, but it's a very distinctive archive: a story of passion, self-discovery, and a plot twist. For a superficial introduction to Márquez, another book would be better, but fans of his work will certainly appreciate this new release.

“Every year on the sixteenth of August she arrived at the same hour, in the same car, bought flowers from the same vendor and brought a bouquet of fresh gladioli to her mother’s grave.”
