SHINER

I'm not usually one for posting celebrity photographs, but it was impossible to resist this photo of my favorite Nobel prize winning author, 80 year old Gabriel Garcia Marquez, proudly displaying a black eye:


"The feud between the Colombian writer Gabriel García Márquez and the Peruvian writer Mario Vargas Llosa, onetime best of friends, had all the elements of a literary classic: accusations of betrayal, jealousy and adultery, and a brutal encounter 31 years ago when things turned bloody."
