'Everything that I have said in my work happened before I was eight years old: the basis of my book is that world. This is what gives my work that special feeling that the critics consider magic. I really think it was magic. With all its extraordinary and supernatural things, that fantastic world was the real world for me.'
In Growing Up in the Macondo, shown first in Writers and Places, this year's winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, Gabriel Garcia Marquez describes the world he grew up in, particularly the town of Aracataca, near Colombia's Caribbean coast, the basis for Macondo in his masterpiece One Hundred Years of Solitude.

The Parisian Singer The month: January
The woman: Marie-Paule Belle The place: Paris
Marie-Paule Belle is a popular singer with a vivacious personality and a lively sense of fun. Brought up in Nice by her Corsican mother, she now lives in the artists' quarter of Montparnasse in Paris. She composes her own music, working always with the same lyricist -an eminent French novelist, Francoise Mallet-Joris . Her songs are sometimes romantic, often comic. They appeal especially to women. This week in January is a particularly important one for Marie-Paule. She celebrates her birthday with her friends and with her fans. She makes a guest appearance on a live radio show. She works on her new song, visits her fortune-teller and prepares for her big night - her concert in Paris.
