ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Darío Arizmendi, the most well-known journalist in Colombia, was a personal friend of García Márquez for the last 25 years. The Untold Story of Gabo is divided into five chapters: Gabo Up Close, Gabo the Nobel Winner, Gabo México, Gabo Colombia-Macondo, and the transcription of the last TV interview that he gave while he was alive, for which the interviewer was Darío Arizmendi. This is a book full of previously unpublished photos and anecdotes that will introduce you to a Gabo that nobody has yet written about. The patience and precision of an experienced reporter like Darío Arizmendi made it possible to keep a testimony about a lesser-known García Márquez unpublished for decades. The Untold Story of Gabo is the sum of accounts, memories, personal notes, and never-before-published photos, and today they converge to reveal the life of Gabo the writer, Gabo the critic, Gabo the carouser. Constructed throughout a 30-year friendship, this book contains revelations worth telling. In the end, it is a tale that brings us a more intimate understanding of Gabo than anyone could have imagined. “This book by Darío Arizmendi has the gift of genial complicity that so characterized Gabo in life, and I believe he would have liked it.” –John Lee Anderson
