Of course, I never had such a literary encounter. But instead of meeting or talking to Márquez, I met Nelly Sfeir Gonzalez. I used to work next door to her. She was the "definitive bibliographer of Nobel laureate Gabriel García Márquez" (https://www.owensfuneralhomes.com/obituary/Nelly-Gonzalez). She was an amazing librarian. Next to her desk there was a signed picture of him with a very nice thank you note written for her.
Thanks for sharing this! Another great writer I read and admire a lot; That’s a pity I can’t write/ comment on other great writers’ blog you mention, as I can do with you:-)
Even if you do not have time to read or answer all of our comments, it is nice to think that we can exchange with you…
Above all, I’d have liked to comment/write on Saramago’s blog!! After yours.. of course:-)
