Gabriel García Márquez

Reality is a little less rigid in the stories of Garcia Marquez. He blurs the lines between belief and possibility.

I hold nothing but the utmost admiration for this man, whose entire novels are pure poetry. One of the main rules professional writers must force themselves to stick to is "Show don't tell". Garcia Marquez never stuck to this rule, he told, page after page of such evocative exposition. I cannot for the life of me choose between One Hundred Years of Solitude and Love in the Time of Cholera.
