After 25 years of work, Jaime Bayly will publish one of his most controversial novels. The Peruvian writer and journalist performed on March 21 in Madrid The genius<\/em>, a work that details the wonderful beginning and abrupt end of the friendship between Garc\u00eda M\u00e1rquez and Vargas Llosa. The affection and brotherhood that the two Nobel laureates maintained for more than a decade ended in the worst possible way.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was 1962. While Kennedy began the United States' blockade of Cuba, the Rolling Stones were born and Brazil amazed the world of football at the World Cup in Chile, Vargas Llosa discovered romance The colonel has no one to write to him<\/em><\/strong>. The Peruvian writer decided to contact the author of this short work, Gabriel Garc\u00eda M\u00e1rquez. They both started sending letters<\/strong> for five years, even though they had never seen each other.<\/p>\n

The first time they met in person was at a literary event in Venezuela, in August 1967. From the first moment, the relationship was fluid and they became true accomplices. \u201cThere has been a reciprocal sympathy since we left Caracas together. We were already close friends<\/strong>\u201d, declared Vargas Llosa at a conference at the Complutense University in 2017. The relationship between the two lovers of literature was very strong and apparently inseparable.<\/p>\n

Two totally twin lives<\/h3>\n

Their professional careers were kindred spirits. Vargas Llosa took his first steps in the Peruvian newspaper La Cr\u00f3nica and Garc\u00eda M\u00e1rquez also started in the world of journalism with his reports and columns in the newspaper El Heraldo. Furthermore, the two authors lived rise of Spanish-American literature<\/strong> of the 60s. In that decade, Vargas Llosa published The city and the dogs<\/em> It is conversation in the cathedral<\/em>and Garc\u00eda M\u00e1rquez sold thousands of copies of his One hundred years of Solitude<\/em>. On an ideological level, the two writers were ardent supporters of left-wing movements<\/strong> such as the Cuban Revolution, the military regime of Juan Velasco Alvarado or May 68.<\/p>\n

The friendship between the two can also be seen reflected in literature. Vargas Llosa paid homage to Gabo's life and work with the essay Garc\u00eda M\u00e1rquez: story of a deicide<\/em>. This same essay was the doctoral thesis that allowed Vargas Llosa to obtain the Doctorate in Philosophy and Letters<\/strong> from the Complutense University. Even both writers had in mind write a book together<\/strong> about the war between Colombia and Peru in 1932.<\/p>\n

Five years of friendship in Barcelona<\/h3>\n

The complicity between the Peruvian and the Colombian gained greater strength in Barcelona. Since 1969, Gabo and Vargas Llosa lived just a few meters away. In Barcelona, \u200b\u200bthe writers, their respective partners and Carmen Balcells (both authors' literary agent) They formed a happy group of friends.<\/strong> and they lived through the last blows of the Franco dictatorship together. However, in 1974, Vargas Llosa decided to go to Lima and the group of friends met for the last time to say goodbye to him.<\/p>\n
