"In 1997, when the University of Mississippi Libraries put together A Faulkner 100: The Centennial Exhibition, the University archivist invited Colombian author Gabriel García Márquez to contribute a piece. The reflections of this author who, in the archivist's words, "is indelibly associated with the number one hundred," were, appropriately, the final item in the exhibition of one hundred items of Faulkneriana."

Notes:
The authors mention Gabriel García Márquez as a comparison from his story, Chronicle of a Death Foretold, in which everybody knows that the main character, José, is going to die, but nobody prevents it. The authors compare this to the survival of Latin America via networks.

Notes:
Commenting on the newest generation of novelists from Colombia, Forero states that Jorge Franco's two latest novels contain no hint of magical realism, the style of outlandish imagery that Mr. García Márquez made famous. Instead, Franco deals with a female assassin in a drug-fueled world in Rosario Tijeras, and the struggles of Colombian immigrants in New York in Paraiso Travel. The basis of this article is how the new wave of Latin American authors have strayed away from the style of García Márquez and formed a new wave. "The long shadow of Gabriel García Márquez has begun to fade."

Notes:
This article mentions details of Gabriel García Márquez's memoirs, beginning with the initial scene of García Márquez going to Aracataca with his mother to sell the house of his grandparents where he was born. Memoirs and autobiographies have this common zone in the memory which allows us to forget, rewrite, and invent. In the case of García Márquez, the richness of his life has been reflected in the worlds he creates in his novels. It's the gaze of the Colombian writer toward his life, toward the people related to him, that appears in his autobiography and delights the reader with how his stories and novels occur. He also does self-analysis in his book.

Notes:
"As a non-realist writer from Spanish America, Borges ended up associated with Gabriel García Márquez and Juan Rulfo, writers both so different in style to Borges and, more important, so very involved in their own local realities, that one wonders whether the people making these comments ever compared these writers at all, or merely assumed a commonality among them based solely on geographical contiguity."
