Gabriel Garca Mrquez's Sons Publish Novel the Author Wanted to Destroy

[GreenWave]

1. Gregory Rabassa translated Cien (better avoid that word!) de Soledad into English.

He was paid a pittance of $500 but as a desperate graduate student needed the $. Márquez made millions off his translation. As a much later student of Petch Peden and her Spanish literature translation seminar she asked me what I would charge to translate a novel (I did not know Rabassa's story at the time) and I said 50/50 for a novel, lump sum for just about anything else. I believe she finally got the movie version out.

above word would be años, title does not allow for accents?
