Gabriel García Márquez (1927-2014)

       The 1982 Nobel laureate, Gabriel García Márquez, has passed away.
       Only two of his titles are under review at the complete review (I read pretty much all the rest before I started the site):

• Living to Tell the Tale
  
  
• Memories of My Melancholy Whores

       One Hundred Years of Solitude still seems to me the most significant novel of the past fifty years; get your copy -- if, incomprehensibly, you don't have one -- at Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk.

       There has been extensive coverage (and much, much more will follow, no doubt); see, for example:

• Gabriel García Márquez obituary by Nick Caistor at The Guardian
  
  
• Gabriel García Márquez, Nobel laureate writer, dies aged 87 by Richard Lea and Jo Tuckman in The Guardian
  
  
• Gabriel García Márquez, Conjurer of Literary Magic, Dies at 87 by Jonathan Kandell in The New York Times
  
  
• Entwining Tales of Time, Memory and Love, 'an appraisal' by Michiko Kakutani in The New York Times
  
  
• Gabriel García Márquez: He proved that tall tales could be truer than facts by Gaby Wood in The Telegraph
  
  
• Gabriel García Márquez, Nobel Prize-winning explorer of myth and reality, dies at 87 by Marcela Valdes in The Washington Post

       But there's tons more -- especially in the Spanish-language press.
