Notes:
"Translations into Persian, such as paperbacks of John Grisham and Agatha Christie are experiencing a boom market. People also read novels by Toni Morrison and Milan Kundera, as well as political books by Anthony Giddens, Henando de Soto, and Francis Fukuyama. Europe and Latin America remain Iran's key cultural reference points, so many Iranians cherish Sir Karl Popper, Jacques Derrida, Jurgen Habermas, and Gabriel García Márquez."

Notes:
Zuluaga Osorio states that because there is so much written about Gabriel García Márquez already, there is a need to present a reduced bibliography that points to opening new possibilities and not reduce perspectives. According to the author, the included bibliography, with a little over fifty titles, is excessive because the purpose of it is to orient and nothing more.

Notes:
This article reviews Memories of My Melancholy Whores. The author states, "No doubt the work will be clucked at severely by reviewers of a tender age and gender--although perhaps not so severely as they peck at Messers Mailer and Roth and other old cocksmen who lack the protection of Third World cachet. But any actual sin would be committed only if they failed to see that Memories is an elegant, sturdy meditation on regret, isolation, decay, and the inevitable perversity of redemption."
Viewed on 29 January, 2008. "El ex presidente de EEUU, Bill Clinton, declaró en una entrevista publicada por la revista Cambio, de Colombia, que el escritor Gabriel García Márquez es su 'héroe literario.'"
"Life did not imitate art on Sunday when this town where Gabriel García Márquez was born and first heard the ghost stories that would inform the 'magical realism' of his novels rejected a proposal to change its name to honor him."
