Garcia Marquez at work on a new novel

According to a published report, Colombian author Gabriel García Márquez has almost finished a new novel called En Agosto Nos Vemos (translation: “We’ll meet in August”). In a speech celebrating the publication of Yo No Vengo A Decir un Discurso, a collection of speeches just published in Spain and Latin America, Random House Mondadori editor Cristobal Pera said that the Nobel laureate “is as good as can be expected of an 83-year-old man who has come out undefeated in his battle with cancer.”
