Colombian Nobel Prize laureate Gabriel Garcia Marquez gestures upon his arrival at Diagonal Palace in Barcelona in this April 28, 2005 file photo. Garcia Marquez, the Colombian author whose beguiling stories of love and longing brought Latin America to life for millions of readers and put magical realism on the literary map, died on April 17, 2014. He was 87. Known affectionately to friends and fans as “Gabo”, he is arguably Latin America’s best-known author and his books have sold in the tens of millions.
