Viewed on 29 January, 2008.|Review of: Jerry Hoeg, Science, Technology, and Latin American Narrative in the Twentieth Century and Beyond. Based on his analysis of García Márquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude, and Isabel Allende's The House of the Spirits, Hoeg comes to the conclusion that contemporary Latin American fiction and criticism are characterized by rejecting technology as it is imposed by "foreign domination" and believing that it "leads inevitably to disastrous consequences."

Notes:
Prego Gadea examines a biography about Gabriel García Márquez, El viaje a la semilla, written by Dasso Saldívar and states that it is no surprise that Saldívar began the biography by narrating the trip García Márquez and his mother, Luisa Santiaga Márquez Iguarán, made in 1952 to Aracataca with the purpose of selling the family house, the "House of Spirits," in which García Márquez was born. The biography corrects or rectifies a considerable number of anecdotes, facts, and affirmations relative to the first years of Gabriel García Márquez. Saldívar demonstrates that García Márquez didn't begin writing La hojarasca immediately after his trip to Aracataca in 1952, but rather three years later.

Ben Fogle lists Gabriel García Márquez's book One Hundred Years of Solitude as one of his six best books. Fogle states that the book is "a complicated tale, like a patchwork, with a zillion characters. It's set in a Colombian town, and the focal point is a Latin American family."

Notes:
Walker reviews Chronicle of a Death Foretold, stating that "this slim volume might be the best entry into Márquez's work. It contains many of the elements that mark so much of his fiction - love, fate, familial ties, dreams, desperation, magic - as well as some of his tightest writing."
