The book begins as García Márquez returns to his hometown of Aracataca with his mother to sell the family's house. The narrative becomes a journey through Colombian history, starting with the writer's childhood in Aracataca and ending in 1957 at age 29, when he traveled abroad for the first time. The first volume reflects García Márquez's experience as both a novelist and a journalist." --Books in Print
This is a review of García Márquez's memoir, Vivir para contarla. Mujica states: "The book functions as a kind of guide to works such as One Hundred Years of Solitude, Chronicle of a Death Foretold, and Love in the Time of Cholera, illuminating material familiar to readers and placing it in its real-life context. Vivir para contarla covers approximately the first thirty years of the author's life, the formative period that stretches from his birth until the mid-1950s."

(Abstract) "This thesis argues that, fashion notwithstanding, archetype and myth provide the most compelling guide for analyzing two works by García Márquez--- One Hundred Years of Solitude and Love in the Time of Cholera...the thesis emphasizes Campbell's idea that myth, a universal language, is inspired by the body's energies, a view in which lungs, heart, intestines, skin, and genitals are messengers carrying the answer to the question of human existence."
