Colombian author of bestselling and critically loved works such as 100 Years of Solitude, hospitalised for unspecified causes
Nobel prize-winning Colombian author Gabriel García Márquez was hospitalized on Thursday in Mexico City, two officials at the health ministry told Reuters on condition on anonymity.
García Márquez, whose career spanned journalism to the fantastical novels that inspired the genre of magical realism, lives in Mexico City. Local media said the 87-year-old was hospitalized for pneumonia. Federal health officials who spoke with the Associated Press declined to specify the cause of his illness, saying García Márquez's family had asked for details to remain private.
