On this personal work, García Márquez reveals some of the main keys in the creation of a text, as well as some elements of the complex process of the making of a story, of a fiction settled in words, and, at the same time, he shares some angles of his own creative work. In the words of the author himself:“ What matters most in this world to me is the creative process. What kind of mystery is such so that the simple desire of telling stories become a passion, so that a human being is willing to die for it; to starve, to freeze, anything, in order to be able to do one thing that cannot be seen nor touch and that, if you think of it, is good for nothing?”

This review is from: Como se cuenta un cuento (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
Como escritor amateur, me interesó explorar las ideas del maestro García Máarquez, tal vez erróneamente sobrentendidas en el título de esta volumen que reune las experiencias de un taller de cine impartido en Cuba. A través de estas experiencias, y específicamente en este volumen, vemos a un García Máarquez como un guía cierto entre los pensamientos lúdicos y fantásticos de los talleristas. Cualquier lección que se desprenda será subjetiva, y el lector tendrá que hacerse de ella por medio de diálogos largos (y a veces obvios, tal cual la comunicación humana) en el que las reglas del arte de contar un cuento no están claramente señaladas. Sin embargo, el talento garcíamarqueziano salta a la vista casi propulsando al libro de un tedio largo. Sus comentarios guían y muestran la tarea de un escritor, en especial un guionista, revelando de tal manera las aristas de la creación literaria en sitios perfectamente identificables y contados (pocos) en el texto. Quizá, para aquellos que busquen una guía literaria, haya que referirse a "La Bendita Manía de Contar" con la esperanza de no arrimarse mucho a la sombra de un texto aparentemente instructivo cuyo único objetivo es de servir como referencia a futuros guionistas.
