Was Gabo an Irishman?: Tales from Gabriel García Márquez's

Was Gabo an Irishman?: Tales from Gabriel García Márquez's Colombia

In BogotÃ¡, a Spanish humanitarian worker attends a funeral without a body, as a storm of yellow butterflies swirls outside. In the jungle, an English anthropologist finds a tiny peace community fighting to preserve their way of life. And, somewhere in the Andes, an Australian coffee farmer confronts a guava-throwing witch in his tree.

This collection brings together 26 personal essays by writers from across the world, all of whom have lived in Gabriel GarcÃa MÃ¡rquezâ€™s homeland. For some, his words are the key to unlocking the enigma of Colombia. For others, living in the land of magic realism brings them a new understanding of his works.

With magical rain, young lovers, grumpy old men, ghosts, conflict, politics, heartache, music, madness and more, these non-fiction stories are at once both singularly Colombian and universal in theme.
