The Colombian author’s inheritors have decided to publish ‘En agosto nos vemos’ (’See you in August’), a story that the Nobel laureate never managed to finish and left at 150 pages

An unpublished novel by Gabriel García Márquez will be released in the spring of 2024. This is what the heirs of the Nobel Prize in Literature have decided on the 10th anniversary of the author’s death. The book is En agosto nos vemos (”See you in August”), a 150-page manuscript whose writing and endless rewriting the Colombian writer dragged on for years and which was deposited, like other papers of the author, at the Harry Ransom Center of the University of Texas, the entity that acquired the funds. The text will be published by his usual publisher, Penguin Random House, in all Spanish-speaking countries except Mexico.

The novel is made up of five short stories, closed and autonomous tales that form a unitary whole starring Ana Magdalena Bach, a cultured and still beautiful woman, on the verge of old age, who every August 16 travels to the small town where her mother is buried, in the cemetery of the poor, to tell her about her furtive and extramarital sexual encounters.
