It will undoubtedly be one of the publishing events of 2024. Penguin Random House has announced the publication of an unpublished novel by Gabriel García Márquez. It will go on sale in all Spanish-speaking countries, except Mexico, and will be translated into the main languages of the world.
Until now little we know of the work in question. It is entitled ‘See you in August’, and as his sons, Rodrigo and Gonzalo García Barcha have explained, it is a text that came to light at the end of his life, with a lot of effort: «It was the fruit of a last effort to continue creating against all odds”.
However, they add, in those words the spirit of the Colombian Nobel Prize winner still survives, all his imagination and imagery: «Reading it once again almost ten years after his death we discovered that the text had many and very enjoyable merits and nothing that prevents us from enjoying it. the most outstanding of Gabo’s work: his capacity for invention, the poetry of language, the captivating narrative, his understanding of the human being and his affection for his experiences and his misadventures, especially in love, possibly the main theme of all his work”.
«As publishers of all the works of Gabriel García Márquez, the publication of an unpublished work of his is of immense pride, as well as being news that readers around the world will celebrate. It is also an honor to publish it in 2024, the year in which the 10th anniversary of his death is commemorated”, declared Pilar Reyes, editorial director of Penguin Random House.
Macondo, on Netflix
In 2019, Netflix announced that it had bought the rights to turn the novel ‘One Hundred Years of Solitude’ into a series, a work that is very difficult to adapt, as Gabo himself believed. Its release date is not yet known (it is supposed to arrive in 2024), but the writer’s sons, Rodrigo and Gonzalo, are the executive producers.
The production company in charge of bringing this project to life will be Dynamo, which has hit titles to its credit such as ‘Narcos’, ‘Historia de un crimen: Colmenares’, ‘Frontera Verde’ or ‘El robo del siglo’.
The character of Úrsula will be played by the actress Susana Morales, who is also a dancer. The actor Claudio Cataño will be in charge of embodying Colonel Aureliano Buendía.
