Summary

Gabriel Garcia Marquez: I did not come to make a speech

The texts that Gabriel García Márquez collected in this book were written with the intention that the author would read them personally in public, in front of an audience, and they were created practically during his life, from the first one, which he writes at the age of sixteen, saying goodbye to his older colleagues in Sipakiri in 1944, to the one he reads before the Language Academy and the rulers of Spain in 2007. Already in the first the texts clearly show the young Colombian writer's resistance to oratory. "I didn't come to give a speech" he warns his Liceo colleagues the first time he goes on stage, and the author chose the same sentence for the title of this book. In the following text, "How I Began to Write", which he read as an already successful author of One Hundred Years of Solitude, in 1970, he once again informs his listeners about his resistance to the genre: "I became a writer in the same way I climbed onto this scene: by force". In his third attempt, receiving the "Romulo Gallegos" award in 1972, he says he agreed to do "two things I promised myself I would never do: accept the award and give a speech." Ten years later, Gabriel García Márquez won the Nobel Prize for Literature and found himself faced with the inevitable task of writing the most important speech a writer can write in his life. The result is a masterpiece: "Loneliness of Latin America". From that moment on, this genre occupies a key place in his life as a well-known and respected writer, whose presence and words were sought after all over the planet.
