Finalista del 2021 National Book Critics Circle 2021

La crónica íntima de los últimos días de un genio.

En marzo de 2014, Gabriel García Márquez, probablemente el escritor más querido en lengua española del siglo XX, ya anciano y enfermo, cayó resfriado. «De esta no salimos», le dijo Mercedes Barcha, su esposa desde hacía más de cincuenta años, a Rodrigo, el hijo de ambos. Estas páginas son la crónica más íntima y honesta de los últimos días de un genio, escrita con la asombrosa precisión y la distancia justa de un testigo de excepción: el propio Rodrigo. Así vemos el lado más humano de un personaje universal y de la mujer en la que se fijó cuando era una niña de nueve años, que le acompañó toda la vida y que apenas le sobrevivió unos años, entreverado de recuerdos de una vida irrepetible. La más hermosa despedida al hijo del telegrafista y su esposa.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Finalist of the 2021 National Book Critics Circle

This is the intimate account of a great genius' last days.

In March 2014, Gabriel García Márquez, probably the most beloved Spanish language writer of the 20th century, at that time elderly and ill, came down with a cold. "I don't think we'll get out of this one," Mercedes Barcha, his wife of over fifty years, told Rodrigo, their son. These pages are the most intimate and honest accounts of the last days of that genius' life. It is written with amazing meticulousness and with just the right amount of distance by an exceptional witness: Rodrigo himself.

Thus we see the most human side of a universal figure and of the woman he laid his eyes on when they were both very young, the woman who accompanied him his entire life and who barely survived him for a few years after his death, peppered with memories of a unique life. This is the most beautiful farewell to the telegrapher's son and his wife.

Lots of Fun!
My Toy Cavapoo loves her bunnies. Good size for small dogs. She enjoys pulling each bunny out and tossing around. Bunnies also squeak which is a big plus for her.

Brilliant fun for dog, except for...
I have a 3yo German Shepherd Dog (GSD) and he can be very hard on toys. On days 1 and 2 he had such fun and we laughed at his good times! Then...Day 3...cue the Jaws Music... While I was away for 10 minutes, he dismantled the ball into tiny pieces! Even so, the ball continued to light up, make sounds and entertain my GSD!! Coolest dog toy ever! If you have a heavy chewer....watch out! Otherwise, I highly recommend!!

Disappointing Dog Toy – Short-Lived and Ineffective
I purchased this dog toy hoping it would keep my dog entertained and engaged, but unfortunately, it has been a huge disappointment. The first one I received only worked for about an hour before completely stopping. I decided to give it another chance and ordered a second one, hoping it was just a fluke. Unfortunately, the second one lasted even shorter—only 30 minutes—before completely ceasing to function. It no longer vibrates, rotates, or interacts in any way. Even when fully charged, the toy barely lights up and doesn’t do anything useful. This is a terrible product, and I’m genuinely shocked by the positive reviews. Save your money—this toy is not worth it.

My dog loves it
My Aussie loves it and he is a tough chewer as well, so it goes great with his hyper reactive personality. Durability could have been a little better, sometimes I have to take it apart and make sure it’s still in a good position because my dog will pick it up and drop it. With no cushion it did start malfunctioning at about 2 weeks. However, it does still work fine and he loves it even without the movement. Note if you put it in a sock to protect it, my dog goes dangerous and held the sock and created a slingshot lol.

My Rottweiler loves it!
My Rottie plays with this for hours at a time! He loves it! It fun to watch too! The plastic is high quality and has lasted for 2 weeks, so far. That pretty good for a Rottie toy! He loves the lights, vibration, and the fact that it rolls away. So fun!
