Gabriel García Márquez (1927 - 2014) was a Colombian writer, journalist and politician, winner of the 1982 Nobel Prize for Literature, one of the most prominent representatives of magical realism. Gabo (as his admirers affectionately call him) publicly stated that he wanted to be remembered not as the author of One Hundred Years of Solitude and the winner of famous literary prizes, but as a reporter: "I was born a journalist and now I feel more like one than ever. It is in my blood. The book Scandal of the Century (2018), a collection of his newspaper reports and columns, will help fulfil this writer's will.

The topics of the fifty texts of the «Scandal…are multifaceted: From political upheavals to Marquez's «personal Hemingway» and the president's hairdresser, from literary criticism, ghosts of the past and future, and a story about how novels are written, to insights, the phenomenon of telepathy, and the mystery of a mystical history that he, one of the most prominent writers in Latin America, could not give a name to.
