Gabriel García Márquez

Born in 1927 Aracataca, Magdalena, Colombia . He is an amazing writer that has inspired me to write a few of my short stories and that I am sure will still do in the future. His style is both creative and feels natural at the same time.  In his writing he brings to life elements that might seem too mundane  to us, but he gives them each a life on its own. Like painting a paint with words. There is so much to say about him, if you want to learn more about him read the wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabriel_García_Márquez

Anyways, here is one of his short stories and I hope you enjoy it:
