Gabriel García Márquez's News of a Kidnapping is a powerful retelling of actual events from Colombia's turbulent history. In 1990, ten relatives of Colombian politicians were abducted and held hostage as the government struggled to extradite a notorious figure to America. The story of these harrowing months is told with vivid clarity by García Márquez, who brings an urgent sense of urgency to his narrative. The result is a compelling account that reads like the finest fiction, offering a gripping insight into Colombia's darkest times. This book is a remarkable piece of investigative journalism, made all the more brilliant by the author's talent for magical storytelling.
