The novel "See you in August" is an unexpected gift to readers from one of the most beloved Spanish-language writers. "Sometimes even books need a rest," Gabriel García Márquez confided to his assistant, Monica Alonso. The story happened in 2004, after the writer sent a still-working version of See You in August to publisher Carmen Balcel in Barcelona. Twenty years will pass and the book will be presented in the same city on March 6, the birthday of the writer. This is how Gabo's loyal readers will receive a posthumous gift from him. The publication of the book was followed by a great uproar, some of the readers perceived it as blasphemy committed against the writer's wishes, because the sentence of the amnesiac Nobel laureate was "The book is not suitable. It is to be destroyed" - his children will not be hidden from anyone. However, they finally decided to let the book reach the readers.
"See you in August" is an outstanding example of Gaboseu's magical realism. This is a story about a middle-aged married woman, Anna Magdalena Bach. He takes the ferry every August to the island where his mother is buried. This journey over time becomes a seductive condition for a woman to become a different person for one night a year. Performed in the irreplaceable and enchanting style of García Márquez, this work is a kind of ode to life, in which a woman's desire for happiness and pleasure does not obey the passage of time. The writer has never touched this topic with such intensity. The novel captures us from the very first sentence and makes us a companion of Anna Magdalena Bach.
