Fidel Castro, Pablo Neruda and Woody Allen are the authors of some of the letters addressed to the legendary Colombian writer Gabriel Garcia Marquez, discovered by his descendants.
They are on display at his home in Mexico City before joining the collection of great authors at the University of Austin, Texas.
“Undoubtedly, Fidel Castro’s letters are very familiar, there is also a note in which he congratulates my parents on the birth of their first nephew, my son. Even those of Pablo Neruda attract my attention, they are very warm, very open. “It seems that there is something in common that connects them all: to give the impression that they have read his works, because their letters do not reflect the attitudes of people who write to a famous character they know only from the newspapers.” he said.
One of the granddaughters of the Nobel Laureate in Literature, Emilia García Elizondo, was the first to encounter a mysterious plastic box with the inscription “grandchildren” on it.
At first he was afraid to open it, but then curiosity triumphed. Inside the box he found 150 unpublished letters, including those of former US President Bill Clinton or actor Robert Redford.
Now, 40 of these letters are on display in the colonial-style apartment that Marquez shared with his wife Mercedes Barcha in the Mexican capital from the 1980s until his death in 2014.
The exhibition is part of the celebrations for the 40th anniversary of the Nobel Prize in Literature, and another similar one will open at the Museum of Modern Art in Mexico.
