Gabriel García Márquez (1927–2014), the Colombian writer who received the 1982 Nobel Prize in Literature, is celebrated worldwide for novels such as One Hundred Years of Solitude and Love in the Time of Cholera. Yet Márquez often insisted that his deepest professional identity was that of a journalist. He famously described himself as "a journalist who just happens to write fiction on the side," believing that reporting grounded imagination in the discipline of reality.
