Review of Karen Christian's Origins of Identity. Vargas writes, "Even though Christian concurs with other critics that the works of Latinas and Latinos are often unjustly measured up against great Spanish American masters-Borges, Cortazar, Fuentes, and Garcia Marquez-she also concedes that in some cases the comparisons are warranted." Christian cites a number of similarities between the works of these Latina/Latino writers and those of García Márquez.

Serna reviews Viaje literario por América Latina de Francesco Varanini (Traducción de Attilio Pentimalli) El Acantilado, Barcelona, 2000. Serna writes, "García Márquez, según Varanini, escribió Cien años de soledad de manera oral, como un juglar, con feliz abandono, siguiendo el ritmo de la voz de su abuela. Después del éxito de Cien años..., el autor describirá el Caribe como los lectores extranjeros quieren verlo. Su estilo, dice Varanini, es legendario, exagerado, novelesco, está mecanizado, como una ''máquina retórica codificada''.

Notes:
This thesis attempts to explore the works of G. García Márquez, F. Cruz Kronfly, G. Espinosa y A. Mútis that propose a new image of Simón Bolívar, agent of the independence of the 19th century. Here, the purpose of thematic convergence and historical intent from the last two decades of the 20th century in the light of the complexity and tension presented in the Bolivar project of social unification of the American subcontinent during its national formation in the 19th century is investigated. It is proven that through these narrative works a divergence from the traditional historic discourse of the historic mother countries is manifested. In these, the dismount of the complex social and cultural condition, as well as the reconstruction of the present national panorama is proposed.

Notes:
"This study focuses on how a dictator or a culturally dominant power can use language to impose cultural values. As an instrument of power, language is used by a dictator to educate, induce, or manipulate a nation's citizens into acting in accordance with the ruling power's cultural values and beliefs. Jorge Zalamea in El Gran Burundún-Burundá ha muerto (1951), Gabriel García Márquez in El otoño del patriarca (1975), and Mario Vargas Llosa in La fiesta del Chivo (2000) draw attention to how the use of vernacular can resist cultural imposition by employing culture-specific terms in order to represent its own culture and nature of reality."
