I would so much like to read this biography. as Gabo being on top on the list of my favorite authors. I’ve read his books in Spanish, English and one in French “Of love and other demons” .
His writing takes me back to my childhood in Colombia, South America. His novels have made me laugh and cry, hopefully a new book of his will come out soon. I’ll be the first one to buy it : )
