«Diatriba de amor contra un hombre sentado» is the play by Gabriel García Márquez, in paperback, 80 pages, published by Editorial Diana in Spanish.
Graciela, wife of a well-to-do man, addresses her husband, turned into a mannequin, on the eve of their silver wedding anniversary. Her monologue becomes an indictment of the distance between a happy appearance and an unhappy intimacy, while the couple's social rise runs parallel to the erosion of love.
One-act monologue, as the play's subtitle states; the original publication dates from 1987 and this edition from 1995.
For readers of theatre and Latin American literature, and for those wishing to discover the more theatrical side of Gabriel García Márquez.
Gabriel José García Márquez was a Colombian writer and journalist, known affectionately as Gabo or Gabito throughout Latin America. Considered one of the most significant authors of the 20th century, particularly in the Spanish language, he was awarded the 1972 Neustadt International Prize for Literature and the 1982 Nobel Prize in Literature. He pursued a self-directed education that resulted in leaving law school for a career in journalism. From early on he showed no inhibitions in his criticism of Colombian and foreign politics. In 1958, he married Mercedes Barcha Pardo; they had two sons, Rodrigo and Gonzalo.
