Very few authors are iconic enough to be mobbed when they appear in public. It's sort of comforting to know that people acknowledge Gabriel Garcia Marquez for the artist that he is.
Quoted: Gabriel Garcia Marquez was mobbed Monday when he appeared at a luncheon in Cartagena, Colombia, during a meeting of the Inter American Press Association.

Dozens jostled with police officers standing guard to have their pictures taken with him and to have books autographed.
