Notes:
Review and commentary on Brazilian mystery writer Luiz Alfredo Garcia-Roza, where a comparison is drawn: "Some critics have claimed that if Gabriel García Márquez had written crime novels, they would read much like Garcia-Roza's novels, suffused with atmosphere and often struck with wonder at the power of human interaction to both heal and wound."

Notes:
"The Booker Prize, under fire for concentrating on fashionable and quirky writers, will attempt to regain its reputation for high seriousness with the launch of the "super Booker," a worldwide search for the living greats of fiction... The Independent understands that the reading list for the inaugural international prize - compiled at a recent secret meeting in Rome - already includes V.S. Naipul, the 2001 Nobel prize-winner from Trinidad; Margaret Atwood, the Canadian who won the Booker in 2000; John Updike, the Pulitzer prize-winner; Gabriel García Márquez, the master of magic realism; and Philip Roth, whose collected works are soon to appear in a Library of America edition."

Viewed on January 24, 2008.||"The parade of literary fashion invariably passes, and Gabriel García Márquez's Macondo, the folksy, fictional village that embodied and, in part, defined the notion of magical realism, has been replaced by McOndo, a contemporary Latin American literary trend of gritty, urban realism, its name a takeoff on García Márquez's Macondo and a combination of the words "McDonald's," "Macintosh," and "condo.""

Notes:
The American filmmaker, Francis Ford Coppola, readily admitted that he would like to make a film about the Liberator, Simón Bolívar. And for that, it could be based on a novel by the Colombian author, Gabriel García Márquez, particularly The General in his Labyrinth, with the help of the author himself.

Pena writes: "So much has been written about Gabriel García Márquez that it is as if a light had been shined through a prism, casting an entire rainbow of opinions. The author's eightieth birthday and the fortieth anniversary of the publication of One Hundred Years of Solitude have led the literary world and the media in general to celebrate the personality and work of this icon of letters."
