Review:
"I'm Not Here to Give a Speech is a welcome reminder of his immense contributions to literature, as well as his skill in using literary fame to highlight the distinct culture and creative strength of Latin America." --Christian Science Monitor "Márquez speaks with the future in mind. . . . Language is his love." --The Independent "A set of speeches given over the course of his long literary career offers snapshots of the Colombian author's uniquely eloquent humanitarian voice and vision. . . . Essential truths in the rare and generous voice of a maestro." --Kirkus Reviews "This neat collection sets out the revered Colombian novelist's two key passions. . . . First is a quest to identify a Latin American spirit, and to celebrate and defend it. Second is an enduring belief in the power of the imagination. . . . [He was] as poetic and polemical in speaking as he was in writing." --Art Review "I'm Not Here to Give a Speech radiates a familiar humorous charm and robust sensuality. . . . The book is of a piece with the fiction, and equally haunting." --The Irish Times "These talks, so eloquently rendered by García Márquez's longtime translator Grossman, capture the novelist's passion, genius, and energetic way of telling a story with a clear moral." --Publishers Weekly
