    • Abstract:
      Gabriel García Márquez's unfinished final novel, "Until August," was worked on during his final years while he struggled with dementia. Before his death, he asked for the novel to be destroyed, but his sons have now decided to publish it. The novel follows the story of Ana Magdelena Bach, a middle-aged wife and mother who engages in a one-night stand during her annual trip to an unnamed Caribbean island. The book explores Ana's desires and emotions as she continues to seek out infidelity in subsequent years. While the book is unfinished, it offers a glimpse into García Márquez's writing process and humanizes his legacy. [Extracted from the article]
