When García Márquez traveled to the USSR "A new world in which everything is old-fashioned and weathered"
The
Colombian
Nobel Prize for Literature
Gabriel García Márquez
had a secret daughter more than 30 years ago with the journalist
Susana Cato,
as the journalist and writer
Gustavo Tatis Guerra
revealed on Monday, January 17, in the pages of
El Universal de Cartagena.
Dasso Sladívar,
García Márquez's biographer, started from a "rumor" shortly after the death in 2014 of the author of
One Hundred Years of Solitude
and
No One Writes to The Colonel
and investigated to confirm this story on his own.
After confirming the information and "keeping it secret for years out of respect for
Mercedes Barcha,
Gabo's wife, and their children," he contacted Tatis Guerra to make it public.
The journalist himself contrasted the information with some relatives of García Márquez.
The Colombian writer and Susana Cato knew each other and
had written scripts together for a feature film
and a short film, in addition to sharing other jobs.
Indira Cato
is a film producer who won more than 15 awards in 2020 with the production and script of her first documentary,
Take My Loves Away
(2014), directed by
Arturo González Villaseñor.
Tatis Guerra also reveals how this news was accepted at the García Márquez house.
In this sense, he recalls that
Rodrigo García Barcha,
Gabo's eldest son, gave a wink in his book
Gabo and Mercedes, a farewell,
by subtly alluding to his father's private life at the funerals at the
Palace of Fine Arts.
"It is very likely that Mercedes sensed what had happened between Susana and García Márquez, but
until the end of her life she maintained discretion and silence.
However, the revelation of Indira's existence was a family cataclysm that is only spoken of through of the tense and complex realm of law and lawyers," the information concludes.
