Two years after telling the world he was finished with writing, Gabriel Garcia Márquez has rediscovered his muse. The Nobel prizewinner is giving the final touches to "a novel of love", according to a friend.
DarÌo Arizmendi, head of news at Radio Caracol in Colombia, said the novel would appear before the end of the year. As yet the 250-page work lacked a title, but Márquez was leaving that until the end.
In 2006 Márquez told Spain's La Vanguardia newspaper he had finished with writing.
