There are some people you mourn personally, even though you didn’t know them “personally”. For me Gabriel Garcia Marquez was such a person. When I was a young reader, he formed neural pathways in my brain in ways that fed the best of what I have of a “self”; so, really, I knew him in a way that was deeply “personal” to me. How do you say “rest in peace” to such a man? My friend Pritha Kejriwal found a way. A beautiful one.
