The Nobel Prize-winning Colombian novelist Gabriel García Márquez, most known for his incredibly influential "One Hundred Years of Solitude," which Chilean poet Pablo Neruda called "the greatest revelation in the Spanish language since the Don Quixote of Cervantes," has died at his home in Mexico City. He was 87. He leaves behind his native Colombia, his beloved residence of Mexico, the U.S. who was intrigued by him, as well as his admirers across the globe in mourning.
