“My father complained that one of the things he hated most about death was that it would be the only aspect of his life he would not be able to write about,” writes Rodrigo Garcia, Gabriel García Márquez’s son.
In his new memoir, “A Farewell to Gabo and Mercedes: A Son’s Memoir of Gabriel García Márquez and Mercedes Barcha,” Garcia chronicles the final days of his father’s life during his battle with dementia, with his wife Mercedes by his side.
We talk with Garcia about his father’s legacy, and the path he forged as a filmmaker in the U.S.
