"Using the analysis applied to a short fragment of the novel One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez as a basis, the author proposes to expose the elements which constitute the process of paternalization (knowledge, bisexuality, narcissism, Œdipal complex, identifications, parricide, the earth, woman and negative work). In conclusion, the author proposes several hypotheses concerning possible extensions of the concept of filiation."--Scopus
Detwiler says of Crónica de una muerte anunciada, "a short narrative by perhaps the most famous of the Boom writers, García Márquez's 1981 work dismantles the steps involved in producing an eyewitness account of a past event...[and] equates the production of eyewitness testimony with the act of making fiction."
