Silvana Paternostro was born in 1962, in Barranquilla, Colombia.
Paternostro is the author of In the Land of God and Man: Confronting Our Sexual Culture, which explores gender roles and the effect of government and religion on women’s lives in Latin America; and My Colombian War: A Journey Through the Country I Left Behind, which tells the story of Colombia’s 40-year-old civil war and uncovers the truth about the United States involvement in the country.
Her latest book, Solitude & Company: The Life of Gabriel García Márquez Told with Help from His Friends, Family, Fans, Arguers, Fellow Pranksters, Drunks, and a Few Respectable Souls, is an oral history of Nobel Prize-winning novelist Gabriel García Márquez. Born in Barranquilla, Colombia, Paternostro is from the same city where García Márquez and friends gathered, several of whom became characters in his novel “One Hundred Years of Solitude.” She grew up hearing stories about him and his friends, even attending school with some of their children. Later on in her career, Paternostro would take a three-day journalism workshop led by García Márquez himself.
