A One Hundred Years of Solitude adaptation is soon coming to Netflix. The series, which is set to have 16 episodes and will be told completely in Spanish, will adapt the most well-known work from Gabriel García Márquez, who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982 and is the most translated Spanish-language author in the world. But what else has Gabriel García Márquez written outside of One Hundred Years of Solitude, his seminal work?
García Márquez, popularly known as “Gabo,” was not just a novelist, but also a short-story writer and journalist, which means his bibliography is not just extensive, it’s very diverse. Among his other famous novels, perhaps the most well-known is Love in the Time of Cholera, adapted into a 2007 film starring Javier Bardem, Benjamin Bratt, Giovanna Mezzogiorno, and Fernanda Montenegro. The movie also features two original songs by Shakira.
Among the author’s other novels, The Autumn of the Patriarch and The General in His Labyrinth are his most well-remembered works, though he also wrote two other novels, In Evil Hour and Of Love and Other Demons.
García Márquez also wrote shorter novellas, some very well regarded, among them Chronicle of Death Foretold, No One Writes to the Colonel, and Memories of My Melancholy Whores. His short stories, like The Incredible and Sad Tale of Innocent Eréndira and Her Heartless Grandmother and A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings, were collected in short story collections, like Big Mama’s Funeral and Strange Pilgrims.
Finally, he wrote extensively in the non-fiction genre, dipping his toes in very different types of writings, from his autobiography, which he meant to complete in three volumes, but only managed to write one: Living to Tell the Tale, to a journalistic recounting of the kidnapping of ten journalists, in News of a Kidnapping.
