Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Life, Love, Time

My father, if anything, first and last, was a man of words. He loved stories; he didn't live for stories, exactly, but I think he lived through stories. I think, like many writers, he loved stories about things he had experienced as much as, if not more than, he loved the experiences themselves.
Henry Louis Gates

Father, Words, Through

Henry Louis Gates

Hope, Crazy, America
