It is in his novels and short stories and essays and other works that one is able to see the unique combination of the fantastic as well as the realistic in equal measures. He uses a rich source of imagination, and at the same time uses most of his own experiences as a setting and background for his novels, especially the earlier ones, which are more autobiographical than his later ones, which started to become more politically inclined. His beloved Columbia is mentioned in almost all his works, and the uninitiated gets a true glimpse into the shadowy and often surreal world that Gabriel Garcia Marquez creates in his novels and other works. The author still resides in Colombia today. (The Noble Prize Internet Archive)
