Bank notes for 鈥楪abo鈥
Print Edition
COLOMBIA’S central bank will print bank notes to honor the country’s most celebrated writer, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, who died in April and who is renowned as the father of magical realism storytelling.
Congress passed a bill on Tuesday instructing the bank to feature a depiction of “Gabo,” as he was affectionately known, on the next bills it produces. The law also requires that certain sites in his native region be preserved for tourism.
The prolific writer, who started out as a newspaper reporter, was best known for his masterpiece “One Hundred Years of Solitude,” which won him the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982.
“Gabo left an extraordinary literary and journalistic collection of work...,” Congressman Antenor Duran was quoted as saying by the newspaper El Espectador.
