About this product
Product Information
Available in English for the first time in the U.S., a collection of the speeches of Nobel Prize-winning author Gabriel Garc a M rquez. Throughout his life, Gabriel Garc a M rquez spoke publicly with the same passion and energy that marked his writing. Now the wisdom and compassion of these performances are available in English for the first time. I'm Not Here to Give a Speech records key events throughout the author's life, from a farewell to his classmates delivered when he was only seventeen to his Nobel Prize acceptance speech. Written across a lifetime, these speeches chart the growth of a genius: each is a snapshot offering insights into the beliefs and ideas of a world- renowned storyteller. Preserving Garc a M rquez's unmistakeable voice for future generations, I'm Not Here to Give a Speech is a must-have for anyone who ever fell in love with Macondo or cherished a battered copy of Love in the Time of Cholera.

Reviews
"Márquez speaks with the future in mind. . . . Language is his love." -- The Independent "This neat collection sets out the revered Colombian novelist's two key passions. . . . First is a quest to identify a Latin American spirit, and to celebrate and defend it. Second is an enduring belief in the power of the imagination. . . . [He was] as poetic and polemical in speaking as he was in writing." -- Art Review " I'm Not Here to Give a Speech radiates a familiar humorous charm and robust sensuality. . . . The book is of a piece with the fiction, and equally haunting." -- The Irish Times, " I'm Not Here to Give a Speech is a welcome reminder of his immense contributions to literature, as well as his skill in using literary fame to highlight the distinct culture and creative strength of Latin America." -- Christian Science Monitor "Márquez speaks with the future in mind. . . . Language is his love." -- The Independent "A set of speeches given over the course of his long literary career offers snapshots of the Colombian author's uniquely eloquent humanitarian voice and vision. . . . Essential truths in the rare and generous voice of a maestro." -- Kirkus Reviews "This neat collection sets out the revered Colombian novelist's two key passions. . . . First is a quest to identify a Latin American spirit, and to celebrate and defend it. Second is an enduring belief in the power of the imagination. . . .

The book is of a piece with the fiction, and equally haunting." -- The Irish Times "These talks, so eloquently rendered by García Márquez's longtime translator Grossman, capture the novelist's passion, genius, and energetic way of telling a story with a clear moral." -- Publishers Weekly, "Márquez speaks with the future in mind. . . .

Item was delivered as advertised however it was not delivered in a box which allowed it to receive some minor damage. Book was in 2 very durable form fitted vinyl/plastic bags which would have been great had then been placed in a box to protect it. Seller was very easy to discuss issue with and the damage is slight. I would buy again from this seller.

Not standard size, used; priced like new standard size. Seller refused to pay return shipping for not-standard item, not noted in listing. I learned not to buy a book without a listed size; could be anything.
