QUOTE

In The Guardian Paul Hamilos reports that: Gabriel García Márquez, literary giant, lays down his pen
Unfortunately, there was no grand public ceremony to mark the event -- indeed, apparently there was and is no witness. Instead, we have another article based on hearsay -- just the usual essentially baseless second-hand gossip, in this case regurgitated from a La Tercera article by Roberto Careaga that is at least slightly more honestly titled: Biógrafo y amigos dicen que García Márquez no volverá a escribir.
Yeah, yeah, we'll believe it when we don't see it (i.e. when nothing more by García Márquez appears). This may be: "un secreto a voces", but they can just keep it until the old man himself comes out and says it.
