[edit] New image

As per the discussion here, I am trying to get better images for both Gabriel García Márquez and Mario Vargas Llosa. I'll post updates on the process here. So this is just to say that I've heard back from my contact; he will be in touch again next week. --jbmurray (talk|contribs) 07:47, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Bad news, I'm afraid. I have indeed heard back from my contact, who is currently working hell for leather on readying his own biography of García Márquez for publication. Though very supportive of the project, he will not be able to help out with images, at least in the short term. --jbmurray (talk|contribs) 22:16, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Gabriel Garca Marquez

Does anyone know if he writes exclusively in Spanish and the translations are part of the process, or is the author actively involved with the translation to English? Love in the Time of Cholera is amazingly vibrant, beautifully written--very visual...and I'll be reading additional titles by this author as a result.

In the case of "one hundred years of solitude" the translation was published three years after the original Spanish and is accredited to Gregory Rabassa so I assume that he writes first in Spanish and then someone else translates, or at least that was the process for his first novel Alastairthegreat (talk) 10:52, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
