Share this Story(Oct. 9, 2014) -- The UTSA Department of Modern Languages and Literatures in collaboration with Casa de España will host a series of presentations in Spanish followed by a reception in honor of the late poet Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Free and open to the public, the event is 7 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 11 in the Buena Vista Theater on the UTSA Downtown Campus.
Journalist, novelist, storyteller, scriptwriter and editor Gabriel García Márquez (1927-2014) is known best for the magical realism of his novel "One Hundred Years of Solitude." His interest in cinema and television led him to write scripts and to become a patron of the art form. His genius as a writer, as well as his political views, contributed to his fame.
In 1982, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature for "his novels and short stories, in which the fantastic and the realistic are combined in a richly composed world of imagination, reflecting a continent's life and conflicts."
The UTSA program will include presentations by:
- Juan Carlos Moren, St. Mary's University
- Margarita de la Vega Hurtado, filmmaker, speaking on "A Life as a Novel"
- Santiago Daydí-Tolson, UTSA, speaking on "A Storyteller of Genius"
- Amalia Mondríguez, University of the Incarante Word, speaking on "The Magic Universe of One Hundred Years of Solitude"
Additionally, there will be readings by Nahuell Duffey and Gustavo Mendoza, and music by Orgullo Vallenato.
Free parking will be available in parking lot D3 under Interstate 35. View a UTSA Downtown Campus parking map.
