Keenan writes, "This thesis aims to examine the models of memory proposed in five contemporary novels: Gabriel Garcia Marquez' One Hundred Years of Solitude, E.L. Doctorow's The Book of Daniel, Milan Kundera's The Book of Laughter and Forgetting, Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children and Toni Morrison's Beloved. I will interweave my discussions of these novels' ideas on memory with considerations of wider debates about repressed/false memories and memorialisation, and I will also discuss various concepts of memory found in the discourses of neuroscience, cognitive psychology, psychoanalysis, history, and literature."
This is an article in a weekly encyclopedia of World Literature put out by Asahi Shinbunsha. This issue deals with history and criticism of Latin American literature and focuses on García Márquez and Manuel Puig, both popular in Japan.

Nico Israel's essay titled "The place of Salman Rushdie," concentrates on comparing Rushdie's writings to those of García Márquez.||In chapter three, "Outlandish addresses geographical displacement as a lived experience in the twentieth century, as a predicament of writing, and as a problem for theory. It focuses on the work of three transnational writers from diverse backgrounds working in different genres: Joseph Conrad, Theodor W. Adorno, and Salman Rushdie."- Publisher

Leamy writes, "In tying together Joyce's concept of paralysis with García Márquez's obsession with solitude, I hope to demonstrate how religion plays a definitive role in creating the forces that drove two of the twentieth centuries [sic] most celebrated authors." (4)

Notes:
"This dissertation demonstrates generic dislocation as a constant in the short fiction of three contemporary Latin American writers: Julio Ramón Ribeyro, Gabriel García Márquez, and Augusto Monterroso. In the work of these three authors, the short story does not denote a text with fixed characteristics. Rather, it indicates a textual space for diverse expressive possibilities, even though the category "short story" continues to be pertinent in its instrumental value. This analysis of stories by the mentioned authors indicates that generic subversion also nurtures a play on the boundaries among different types of writing... In the works of Gabriel García Márquez, genres played which include: the autobiography, travel books, theater programs, the police report, and oral narrative."
