Gabriel García Márquez: Sons publish novel that late author wanted destroyed

Nobel Prize-winning author Gabriel García Márquez left behind a novel written while struggling with dementia, which he wanted destroyed. Despite his wishes, his sons published the book, titled Until August, which received mixed reviews. The novel focuses on a female protagonist and marks a departure for García Márquez. Critics have questioned the decision to publish the book against the author’s wishes, but still recognize its unique qualities. Additionally, Netflix plans to adapt García Márquez’s renowned novel One Hundred Years of Solitude into a Spanish-language series. The situation echoes other authors like Franz Kafka and Vladimir Nabokov, whose works were published posthumously against their wishes.
