Roughly translated:

MÉXICO, D.F., (proceso.com.mx).- Literature Novel laureate gabriel García Márquez passed away this Thursday afternoon in the D.F.

On April 3rd the Colombian writer was hospitalized (...) due to dehydration and an infection in his lungs and urinary tract. Last tuesday his relatives reported that "his condition is stable, but he's very frail and there's risk of complications due to his age." Rumours that García Márquez had cancer were refuted.

RIP in pieces, Marquez. You died from cholera while making love. A good way to go...

It pains me to say that I've never read his works. Honestly, it feels like I've been living a hundred years of solitude.

Descansá en piezas Gabo, y gracias por los grandes momentos.

Wrote a poem about him for a class last year. Not very good, but I figured now is an appropriate time to post it.

Coffee with Gabriel García Márquez


I found myself at a
Starbucks in downtown
getting coffee with Gabriel
García Márquez. He looked
old, but not nearly as old
as he should be. He ordered us
two grande straight black coffees—
the kind you could feel staining
your teeth and coating
your throat on
the way down. It was fairly
embarrassing, as he kept on reading and
re-reading the Starbucks Fair Trade Agreement
poster, and ruefully chuckling
to himself
all the while.
He had appeared
in the stall next to me, with a bang
that filled the bathroom with
the thick aroma of oregano
and begonias. He noisily
relieved himself, then pounded
at my door asking
if I’d be all day.

Over coffee, he was animatedly
chatting about how modern literature
needed a resurrección, but I was
distracted by the
yellow butterflies that kept
crawling in and out
of his shirt cuffs and collar.
“So,” he was wrapping it up,
“La cosa más importante,
is that you see with eyes both
omniscient
and clairvoyant.” Márquez
slammed his cardboard cup
on the coffee table
conclusively, squashing a
rogue butterfly that had
ventured too far
out of the safety of Márquez’s
right cuff.
I blinked twice. He
sighed, then gestured as if
to whisper something
into my ear. I lean
real close, then he leaps
across the coffee table
headfirst, and enters my
chest.
I’m annoyed, bordering
on angry at Márquez,
when I realize my eyes hurt.
I rub them, then
look around.
The Starbucks frother
roared like
dragon fire, a man with
the languid look of one who
weeps in private was relating
a crude joke to a sturdy woman, whose
harsh laughter split through the
coffee house like broken
glass. A businesswoman
ordering a five-dollar coffee has a face
reminiscent of an anorexic iguana,
and I see the kids and husband
that she will not go home to.
A homeless man
to my left is mumbling
nonsense of the most profound
nature, and I see the kid he used to
be, the man he is now, and everything
that he could be, all superimposed
on top of each other. But more
than anything, I see every person
in this Starbucks as sparks on a
dark canvas, shimmering with all
the incandescent, triumphant beauty of
a human life, but simultaneously
ephemeral and ultimately tragic,
and solitary, above all else, solitary.
And although I have not
seen Gabriel García Márquez
after that
particular episode, on
some days
when I strain
my senses, I can still hear
the whisper of butterfly wings
on begonia-scented
winds.

>>4787567
once a bytch always a bytch

cry more fag haha

>>4787570
who gives a fuck? he should've thrown that hot grande black coffee right in your face, you fag.

>>4787559
You kidding me? It's *literally* known as some of the greatest translation work ever done. Some have even said it improved the novel.

Now that I know he won't write anything else and won't miss anything, it's a good time to start.

>tfw McCarthy just wont die, I want to read blood meridian

From what I've read, I find Marquez to be a better writer than Borges. Would you agree?

>>4787579
Márquez himself said that. lawl

>>4787583
Not at all. Borges is superior, specially in spanish.

>>4787575

>>4787583
Definitely. I mean, look at the Nobels. How many did Borges win?

i don't read much poetry but i really like this and it is very fitting.

>>4787594
No digas pendejadas Gabo, que nos van a pillar.

:(

Daily reminder that this guy called Marquez "Castro's courtesan" and punched him in the face in a bar after giving him a bad review.

do you think llosa is sad today

>>4787592
Borges was too famous to win a Nobel, they're a hipster central over there.

Gabo was pretty unknown when he won it.

why are there so many pictures of him giving the finger?

>>4787605
I like to think that he hated him as a person, but admired the writer and his work.

>>4787607
>Gabo was pretty unknown when he won it.

what in the flying fuck

>>4787594
>>4787602

Cállense los dos carajo, shhhh.

>>4787558

>Gabo
>Right-wing

uwutm8

>>4787553
how fucking new are you

who cares, really? let's be honest, his best work was already far behind him, he had receded into irrelevance, and it's not like he would've written anything worthwhile ever again.

in any case, i hope he's doing the cucaracha in heaven now.

Nigger writer wrote nigger books.

There's got to be some sort of joke about him ascending into heaven somewhere.

>>4787615
Being published doesn't mean he wasn't pretty unknown to most people.

>>4787583

Marquez isnt better than Borges, but it was way more "accesible". Marquez books were complex and had intrincate stories, but he always used simplistic concepts and ideas, so even if you didnt read many books, you could grab Cien años de Soledad and understand it.

Borges stories look simpler, but they have so many references to other books, so many theories and details, a simple reader could never understand after just 1 or 2 tries. He wrote in another level, were the common man couldnt reach.

He was certainly well known for the Nobel comittee

>>4787559

>>4787634
He was, in the same degree that for example Laxness was. It's the sort of author that gets around in some literary circles but not to the general public at first.
Borges was widely known and appreciated.

One Hundred Years of Solitude is the first piece of literature since the Book of Genesis that should be required reading for the entire human race. Mr. García Márquez has done nothing less than to create in the reader a sense of all that is profound, meaningful, and meaningless in life.
— William Kennedy, New York Times Book Review

>>4787642

Pues tomando el sol, y viendo las olas...

La verga con los jóvenes. Han dejado las letras y dicen que ahora usan la espada para los gringos.

Damnit, I knew he went to the hospital, but hoped he was doing better since he went home.

Sad day. He was a fine writer.

>>4787605
It was because Gabo tried to screw Vargas Llosa's wife.

>>4787583
>>4787592
>>4787615
>>4787625
>>4787628

>Gabo was pretty unknown when he won it

actually this is half true. Marquez is well know for being one of the first writers in the history to win a Nobel just for one book. (100 years of solitude). But the rest of his books helped too.

>Borges was too famous to win a Nobel, they're a hipster central over there

Borges didnt win the Nobel because he was an asshole who supported the death of commies and innocent people on Argentina. Is well know that was the excuse of the academy to not award him. But he deserved by far win one.

Yo he estaba en el mismo hotel cuando le dijeron que Marquez habia muerto. No dijo nada, pero se nota que no le importaba.

Hijo de puta. Pero aca todo el mundo actua como si fuera gran cosa solo porque gano el nobel por motivos politicos.

>>4787558
lel

>>4787653
>>4787605

LEL but seriously, I think it was because Vargas was let down because of the review. Before that incident in the bar, Mario was the biggest Gabo fanboy, even borderline cultic.

His thesis was a study on Gabo and his whole literary student days was spent trying to be like Gabo. He had a big mancrush on the guy, and when Gabo gave that crushing review, he wasn't one to stand down. Alas, that big dent on Gabo's face.

Rip in pace freddy mercury killed all those nazis back in nam such a hero.

>>4787679
Also because feast of the goat and war at the end of the world and the time of the hero were god tier books

>>4787679
Nobody will cry for Llosa though. Well, maybe not that much. I love his books but Mario looks and sounds like an absolute twat.

>>4787570
Maybe this is good but I stopped reading at Starbucks and I doubt it.

>>4787697

Pues si usted comprendió algo de lo que escribían Nicanor, y todos ellos, no debería llorar... Al final la muerte es otro viaje...

>>4787699
Yeah, sure, but I doubt he was all for killing and kidnappings, etc. That wasn't really widely known at the time.

You have to have in mind Borges' family was military, he often speaks proudly of his relative that served in the 1800's, and he was highly traditionalist, right wing.
The montoneros weren't babies either, and they used plenty of force themselves, so I understand his support for that.

It's not all black and white.

>>4787401
He was better than each one of us here, anon. He already reached immortality in his books.

And you?

>>4787677
Maybe he did
"Mario strayed. He fell in love with a beautiful Swedish air stewardess whom he met while travelling. He left his wife and moved to Stockholm.

Distraught, his wife Patricia went to see her husband’s best friend, Gabriel. After discussing the matter with his wife, Mercedes, he advised Patricia to divorce Mario. And then he consoled her. No one else quite knows what form this consolation took…. Eventually Mario returned to his wife, who told him of Gabriel’s advice to her, and of his consolation."

>>4787699
It's not a coincidence that his right-eye worked better than the left one

>>4787717
Le estoy escuchando...

>>4787697

por lo menos Nicanor gano el Cervantes... algo es algo.

>>4787717
Yo no lloro por Nicanor, yo lloro por Belano

Guess it's time to re read all his books once more. He never finished his autobiography trilogy either...

>>4787722
Holy shit my sides

>>4787718
And also, according to the article, he was for Videla out of his opposition to Peronismo, which was a sort of dictatorship itself, and in my opinion, still the scourge of Argentina.

>>4787695
because no one could stand a hundred years of solitude anon. No one.

>>4787679
You can bet that he is writing a column that will say that he's sorry for the death of GGM, but the guy was a communist.

>>4787721

Gabriel tapped that ass magical realism style. Vargas Llosa couldn't cum butterflies so he felt inferior.

>>4787733

>>4787692
Vale. La fiesta del Chivo la escribio por motivos politicos, y la guerra del fin del mundo es GOD TIER, fine. But so are 100s of other books by other authors. MVL won the Nobel but so many others deserved it before him.

>>4787718

i know, but you have to understand the Nobel Academy was always against politic ideas. They saw Borges supporting dictatorship, and the SJW at the time would have gone apeshit if he won the Nobel. Its truly sad, hes the best Spanish writer ever.

>>4787743
La Fiesta del Chivo is so bad.

>>4787744
>¿Se permiten portugueses en esta fiesta?

Porque, queres traer a tu novio?

>>4787721

And that is why a man should never marry a woman, nor expect faithfulness from anybody but himself, and sometimes, not even from himself... Because in the end... Is a writer - really - himself?

>"Tras las denuncias por las terribles desa-pariciones comenzó a retrotraerse. Con la guerra de las Malvinas se sintió muy dolorido y apenado. Es ya pacifista y anarquista. "

Obviamente no conocia toda la informacion.

Es obvio que Borges ya estaba viejo y de todas formas, hubo bastante tiempo antes del 76 para que le hayan dado el premio, no creo que haya sido por eso.

>>4787753

because on those times most of the leftist were killed or oppresed in the western hemisphere. (Lorca, Neruda).

For practice, you little grasshopper.

I'm right in the middle of One-Hundred Years of Solitude right now and actually taught a fake-lesson in school today which was centered around one of his quotes, only to come home and see this. Really sad news, and "Solitude" is blowing my mind b the way.

>>4787917
Maybe that way you get motivated to learn Spanish.

El acento de España solo es bueno en películas llenas de groserías como Fullmetal Jacket. En cualquier otra cosa es una pura cagada.

De cualquier manera, el consenso es que el acento argentino es el más irritante. El de España se tolera siempre y cuando no se trate de esos horribles doblajes.

>>4787954

A mí me da risa que el inglés lo pronuncian literal. Por ejemplo para ellos Spiderman es "espíderman"

Before reaching the final line, however, he had already understood that he would
never leave that room, for it was foreseen that the city of mirrors (or mirages)
would be wiped out by the wind and exiled from the memory of men at the precise
moment when Aureliano Babilonia would finish deciphering the parchments, and
that everything written on them was unrepeatable since time immemorial and
forever more, because races condemned to one hundred years of solitude did not
have a second opportunity on earth.

El hecho de que tenga que actualizar la página muestra su ignorancia al momento de usar la red o 4chan, para ser más concretos. No obstante, le he conceder ésta respuesta para sacarlo de la ignorancia que lo ahoga y que, sin duda alguna, rasguña su apretada agenda.

Ser costeño es más que vivir en la costa. Ser costeño es portarse como usted mismo lo acaba de hacer. Darse ínfulas de persona luxada, "viveza" y alto linaje, mientras a su alrededor está nadando en el mismo estiércol por la falta de acueducto.

he does believe it. his autobiography "the dance of reality" has an entire chapter dedicated to reporting cases of people he's helped with similarly weird rituals. off the top of my head:

woman wants to be a singer but is nervous. the cure is to shove some golden coins up her cunt (notice a pattern here) and go to an audition like that.

man is a premature ejaculator, lasts only 10 seconds. the cure is: next time you have sex, take out a cronometer and say to your wife "i'm going to beat my record, i promise. i'll come in five seconds." some days later the guy returned with a huge smile on his face. "i couldn't do it. i lasted 30 minutes"

>>4788187

That has coherence, and unless I have a really weird mind, isn't magic at all.

The woman will probably think laughable the fact she has golden coins up her cunt, and will forget about the audition nervousness.

The man won't cum, because he probably prevents himself from achieving what he wishes, therefore inverting his wishes, will make him accomplish said wishes.

No tendría la necesidad de hacer lo primero si no estuviese en una conexión de área local, bien, busque alguna otra ineptitud mía, cualquier error con suerte pueda servirle de recurso para eludir la situación o dar preámbulos inútiles.

Sólo me gustaría preguntarle ¿Qué es usted? Colombiano, supongo ¿No es éste país después de todo un estercolero?

Sobre las pretensiones que usted ilustra, es una premisa que compromete demasiadas cosas. De esa manera, ser pobre impide poder hablar de una manera mínimamente formal u ocuparse a algo ajeno a las labores serviles. Entonces ignore a Joyce, Dostoievski, Melville, y otra larga lista de escritores que murieron en la miseria. Quizás eso represente una ofensa a usted, como hombre acaudalado, naturalmente.

I applaud your effort, and it's a great tribute. But even though you had that bit where he sort of guffaws at the Starbucks Fair Trade agreement, it is kind of silly to imagine him at a starbucks. Not just since he was staunchly against the sort of Coca colanization Starbucks exemplifies, but because he was a proud Colombian, and I imagine he'd have high standards for coffee that an American chain couldn't meet.
