THE SCANDAL OF THE CENTURY - GABRIEL GARCIA MAR...

A new collection of journalism from one of the great titans of 20th century literatureI don't
want to be remembered for One Hundred Years of Solitude or for the Nobel Prize but rather for
my journalism  Gabriel García Márquez said in the final years of his life. And while some of
his journalistic writings have been made available over the years  this is the first volume to
gather a representative selection from across the first four decades of his career--years
during which he worked as a full-time  often muckraking  and controversial journalist  even as
he penned the fiction that would bring him the Nobel Prize in 1982. Here are the first pieces
he wrote while working for newspapers in the coastal Colombian cities of Cartagena and
Barranquilla . . . his longer  more fictionlike reportage from Paris and Rome . . . his monthly
columns for Spain's El País. And while all the work points in style  wit  depth  and passion to
his fiction  these fifty pieces are  more thananything  a revelation of the writer working at
the profession he believed to be the best in the world.'García Márquez always thought of
himself as a journalist first and foremost and this brilliant collection goes a long way
towards justifying that belief.' Salman Rushdie
