- Title
"Remedios in the Sky with Diamonds: Gabriel García Márquez and the Beatles in Their Own Write".
- Authors
Vargas, Ómar
- Abstract
This paper highlights the parallels and intersections in the unreal and magical realist worlds created by Gabriel García Márquez and the Beatles by grounding their works in the literary, visual, and musical artifacts of the 1960s cultural revolution. By examining Beatles songs and films and with close reading of several chapters from Cien años de soledad and from several short stories and opinion columns written by García Márquez, this essay unravels an exciting implicit collaboration between Colombia's most famous writer and one of the world's most celebrated musical bands.
