The Scandal of the Century gathers the finest journalism of Gabriel García Márquez, the Colombian novelist who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1982 and whose One Hundred Years of Solitude stands among the defining works of twentieth-century fiction. Long before and throughout his career as a novelist, García Márquez worked as a reporter and columnist, and these pieces, drawn from newspapers and magazines between 1950 and 1984, reveal the reporter's eye and storyteller's voice that would animate his fiction. Ranging from crime and shipwreck to celebrity and politics, they show a master of magical realism honing his craft in the everyday world. Translat
