Penguin Random House has confirmed the existence of an unpublished Gabriel García Márquez novel titled En Agosto Nos Vemos (We’ll See Each Other in August), which will be on shelves across Latin America in 2024. The news has sparked excitement among García Márquez’s fans, who have been waiting for years for the literary masterpiece to be revealed to the public. The novel was discovered after García Márquez’s family decided to publish it posthumously, despite initial reservations about publishing an incomplete work. García Márquez, who is best known for his critically acclaimed tales of magical realism, is the most translated Spanish-language writer in the world, and his literary legacy has inspired countless other works of fiction. Despite the excitement around the new novel, there is some critical debate over whether it is appropriate to publish an unfinished work posthumously.
