In this article, Gabriel Garcia Ochoa of Monash University https://theconversation.com/gabriel-garcia-marquezs-last-novel-is-a-moving-testament-to-his-genius-225272 talks about Until August, a novel by Gabriel Garcia Marquez (1927-2014) that was posthumously published in March this year.

According to Ochoa, Until August “… is a complete but unfinished work that Marquez was not able to fully revise to this satisfaction.”

Apparently, Marquez revised his novels repeatedly, with one, Autumn of the Patriarch, taking him 17 years. This is why, says Ochoa, his sons were at first reluctant to publish Until August.
