"In the current essay, Eliana Albala- with proof in her hands- objectively reveals the precise formula of a writer who practices witchcraft and alchemy, but that in his sintaxis, is the most obedient and respectful knower of the classics in his language." -Back cover of book
"One of the most recurrent themes in Latin-American literature is that of dictatorship. And maybe the character that obsesses writers the most is the dictator. The return time and time again of literary texts about this subject appears to be no more than the persistent reflection in the history of Latin America of a phenomenon and a figure that, like the patriarch of García Márquez, resist death." -Jorge Scherman Filer.

Notes:
The authors present myth as an effective instrument for giving perfection, sense and correctness to chaos, and they also humorize the brutal and tragic of a world, decaying without remedy.
"Mundos propios los de estos dos autores, pero unidos per secretos y profundos vasos comunicantes. En primer lugar la poesia misma, que distingue a la obra de Mutis, pero que permea la totalidad de la ficcion de García Márquez. Desde sus juveniles diálogos en una Bogotá compartida en la bohemia y el periodismo, hasta le reelaboración creativa de una colombia transmutada en su mutuo exilio mexicano, estos dos grandes escritores se has enriquecido en lecturas, viajes, reflexiones y figuras. Símbolo perfecto el [Brindis por el poesía] que García Márquez leyó en Estocolmo al recibir el Nobel, y al cual Mutis contribuyó de modo decisivo. O el discurso de García Márquez con motivo de los setenta años de Alvaro Mutis. Pero a la vez la diversidad de sus posturas ente la actualidad politica o personajes como Bolivar hace aun mas vivaz y polemico su dialogo sostenido sin interrupción por mas de medio siglo."
"Juan Gustavo Cobo Borda, quien ha acompañado desde los años sesenta con sus lecturas criticas la trayectoria de ambos autores, ha reunido, por fin, la totalidad de sus aproximaciones a Gabriel García Márquez y Alvaro Mutis."
"Análisis, entrevistas, cronologias y bibliographias puestas al dia nos permiten acceder a sus poemas y a sus novelas con algo mas que un brillante ejercicio de critica literaria."
This book constitutes a profound analysis of the partial work of a number of selected texts, that point out the socio-historic character in nine hispanic novelists. This series of critical essays about nine representative authors by Manuel Antonio Arango L., is a clear effort to study and deepen the social context of Hispanic literature and integrate it to the history of Hispanic America.

Previously published under Ceiba Editores in 1992. The considerable criticism and interpretative literature about Gabriel García Márquez has transformed him into a "stranger," and for the Colombian readership, his work has become something "unknown," states Carmenza Kline. Her goal is to give back the original spirit of the works, which was prevalent at the time of their writing. She provides excellent coverage of articles written about García Márquez and his works in the Colombian Press, something which is not always available in the USA.
"El meollo de la obra es que, cuando se haya leído una obra de García Márquez, tengamos, a nuestro alcance, todos o casi todos los detalles de la obra para poderlos usar más tarde, en el momento adecuado y con la garantía de la seriedad de nuestras citas o referencias. No es un libro para leerlo de un solo tirón. No. Esa no es la finalidad."
"Tampoco lo fue el anerior sobre la zoologia. Puede decirse, si con ello nos damos a entender mejor, que este libro es un libro 'referencial' o 'institucional' para una mejor memoria de las obras de GGM, y sea para propios o extraños de su obra."

"En Buenos Aires, capital de la consagración de 'Cien años de soledad,' Gabriel García Márquez participó de manera invisible en un homenaje que duró tres días sin olvidar que, pese a la ausencia corporal del autor, la literatura que éste escribió ofició la magia de considerarlo presente. Presentes estuvieron el hermano de Gabo, Jaime, el historiador Félix Luna, escritores, periodistas, editores y libreos. Un público atento y memorioso añadió la concurrencia de otras presencias invisibles: La fidelidad, la admiración, el afecto. Este Libro atestigua esa ceremonia inolvidable."
"Drawing from a variety of contemporary literature--including such work as 'One Hundred Years of Solitude,' 'Beloved,' and 'Like Water for Chocolate'--Schroeder explores magical realism as one of many commondenominators in the literature of the Americas, Challenging the notion that magical realism should be defined merely in terms of geogaphy or Latin American history."
