"Many foreigners only know a thing or two about Colombia: the country that produces cocaine and coffee. The country in which a civil strife exists. This is what is read and heard in the media day to day, but Colombia is a complex and amazing country that many times is perceived with stereotypes and prejudice." With this the author continues to describe the good things that are never really mentioned about Colombia, amongst which he mentions the literature and Gabriel García Márquez.
Dabove says that García Márquez seems to be doing his own "critique of practical reasoning" with his "grouping" and his "evaluation." Nonetheless, to recognize La mala hora as a narrative project with capabilities of appeal, the author proposes to read it with Frederic Jameson's notion of "national allegory." With these purposes, Dabove continues his analysis.
In all of the works of the famous Colombian author, Gabriel García Márquez, the theme of dreams is of outstanding importance in participating in magical realism. This article analyzes the use of dreams in the stories in Doce cuentos peregrinos.

In this review of Gabriel García Márqez's Memories of My Melancholy Whores S. Parasannarajan states that "The lovers in "Memories of My Melancholy Whores" too are placed in the Marquezian enigma: she speaks only one sentence in the book; he had reinvented her in the delirium of desire...The novel itself is like a stray sentence of burning beauty from a master."
