Celebrating Gabriel García Márquez

Gabriel García Márquez, Nobel Prize-winning author of the beloved One Hundred Years of Solitude, passed away yesterday.  Known for popularizing the magical realism style of writing, Gabriel wrote numerous novels and short stories that ensnared our imaginations and opened our eyes to the culture and history of his native Colombia.  I don’t know how many times I read “A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings” for classes throughout high school and college, but each time there was something new to be noticed and enjoyed.  He will definitely live on as one of the greatest writers of our time.
