Description:
Rodrigo Garcia, son of the renowned Nobel Prize winner and bestselling author Gabriel García Márquez, shares a tender memoir of his beloved parents in A Farewell to Gabo and Mercedes: A Son's Memoir. In March 2014, at the age of 87 and battling dementia, Gabo became ill. His wife of over 50 years, Mercedes Barcha, expressed doubt about his recovery. As Rodrigo observed the events, he began to document his father's final days, revealing his remarkable humanity. This intimate and honest account portrays a family facing loss and paints a vivid picture of Gabo as a vulnerable man, still embracing his humor while struggling to accept what he will lose. At his side is Mercedes, his devoted companion and creative muse, who played a significant role in Gabo's life and art. A Farewell to Gabo and Mercedes is a poignant tribute to the legendary couple, offering a rare glimpse into the private world of a literary icon. For readers
