Google honors author Gabriel García Márquez

Google, meet Gabo.

The Internet search giant is using its logo to honor author Gabriel García Márquez, often called by the nickname Gabo. The Colombian author would have been 91 on Tuesday.

Márquez was born in Aracataca, Colombia in 1927, and wrote several books, including One Hundred Years of Solitude.

The doodle featured on Google's main search page depicts the city of Macondo as described by Márquez in his book.

"In his long literary career, he penned over 25 books, transporting readers into a world of magical realism where they find themselves in the lush, humid tropics — moldering into solitude or being slowly consumed by the throes of passion," reads a Google post detailing Tuesday's doodle.

His other books include 1975's Autumn of the Patriarch, about a pathological fascist Caribbean dictator, and 1985's Love in the Time of Cholera, which was later adapted into a film starring Javier Bardem.

In 1982, Márquez won the Nobel prize for literature. He died in 2014.
