Rodrigo García, moderator Mark Koplik

Recorded Tuesday, September 5, 2023, at the University at Albany.
Filmmaker Rodrigo García visited UAlbany for a discussion of A Farewell to Gabo and Mercedes (2021), a memoir of his late parents- Gabriel García Márquez, a Colombian fiction writer whose work changed the face of world literature, and his wife of more than 50 years, Mercedes Barcha Pardo.
Márquez is best-known for One Hundred Years of Solitude, which William Kennedy called “the first piece of literature since the Book of Genesis that should be required reading for the entire human race” (New York Times).
