## About this plan

If you love literature, this literary cafe in Bogota gives you a good reason to sit down and talk about Gabriel Garcia Marquez short stories. The meeting takes place at the CEFE Cometas Public Library, where a reading series invites you to look at the lesser known Gabo, the writer of short prose, and to explore his bond with poetic language.

The plan is to read several of his stories and journalism pieces together and build a portrait of the author, right around the centennial of his birth. It is a calm event made for people who want to talk about books, share interpretations, and spend a different afternoon at a Bogota library.

Entry is free, so all you need is the desire to read and take part. Check the date and current hours on the source page before you go.

- Group reading of Gabo short stories

- Free plan at a Bogota library
