One of his most important novels, "There is no one to write to the colonel", Gabriel García Márquez wrote in the mid-1950s during his stay in Paris, where he arrived as a newspaper correspondent, but actually with a hidden desire to study film art. But the abolition of the newspaper he worked for pushed him into poverty while he was editing three different versions of this short novel, which very soon after its publication in 1961 gained cult status within the writer's oeuvre.
