Just In Time

 

I found you just in time 
Before you came, my time 
Was running low 
I was lost 
The losing dice were tossed 
My bridges all were crossed 
Nowhere to go 
Now you're here 
And now I know just where I'm going 
No more doubt or fear 
I found my way 
For love came just in time 
I found you just in time 
And changed my lonely life and lucky day

TEXT

 

Gabriel García Márquez wanted to destroy his last novel. It's about to be released.

 

    Towards the end of his life, with his memory destroyed, Gabriel García Márquez struggled to complete a novel about the secret sex life of a middle-aged married woman. He tried at least five versions and tinkered with the text for years, shortening sentences, scribbling in the margins, changing adjectives and dictating notes to his assistant. Finally he gave up and issued a final, damning verdict.

    "He told me directly that the novel had to be destroyed," said Gonzalo García Barcha, the author‘s younger son.

    When García Márquez died in 2014, several drafts, notes, and chapter fragments of the novel were preserved in his archives at the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin. The story remained there, spread across 769 pages, largely unread and forgotten – until García Márquez's sons decided to defy their father's wishes.

    Now, a decade after his death, his final novel, Until August, will be released this month and will be published in nearly 30 countries worldwide. The story focuses on a woman named Ana Magdalena Bach, who travels to a Caribbean island every August to visit her mother's grave. On these dark pilgrimages, briefly freed from her husband and family, she always finds a new lover.

    The novel adds an unexpected coda to the life and work of García Márquez, a literary giant and Nobel Prize winner, and is likely to raise questions about how estates and publishers should handle posthumous publications that contradict a writer's instructions.

    Literary history is littered with examples of famous works that would not have existed if executors and heirs had not ignored the authors' wishes.
