The author mentions a brief synopsis of some anecdotes of Gabriel García Márquez as a child, as told in Vivir para contarla. Also, the author talks about this set of memoirs, the years that have progressed as a brief chronology, and quotations from family members.
"The life of Gabriel García Márquez, the magical realist whose much-loved fifth novel, One Hundred Years of Solitude, helped him secure the 1982 Nobel Prize for Literature, has already been assembled in fragments. Lacking from a book such as The Fragrance of Guava, an extended interview published in the year of the Nobel, is the whimsical grace of the fiction. Márquez's own account of his early years, Living to Tell the Tale, is first and foremost a storyteller's story, a languid spell cast by a master of language."

Notes:
"Gabriel García Márquez has sold the film rights to his 1985 novel Love in the Time of Cholera to Scott Steindorff's Stone Village Pictures, the company that recently produced the film of Philip Roth's The Human Stain. García Márquez is expected to make almost 1.7 million pounds from the deal. The Nobel prize winner took a long time to agree to having his book filmed. "I think we called him every day for 18 months," says Steindorff."
"As Mr. García Márquez observes in the opening pages of Vivir para contarla (Living to Tell It), the memoir of his life to early manhood, "until adolescence, the memory is more interested in the future than the past, so my memories of the town were not yet idealized by nostalgia." The first volume of his memoirs has been eagerly awaited; now here, it is lording it over the Spanish-speaking world's bestsellers lists, including that for the Hispanic market in the United States. Mr. García Márquez's fans will not be disappointed. Once again, he mines the rich seam of his memories of Colombia's Caribbean coast from the 1920s to the 1950s which provide the material for his novels."
Dubatti states that Of Love and Other Demons skillfully combines a fitted narration and a simple prose that privileges direct communication. He also continues to mention elements of García Márquez's works.

Notes:
"This in-depth interview with Nobel Laureate Gabriel García Márquez is presented in the form of a conversation with an old friend he has not seen in a long while. The program is structured to suggest an apparent disorder of time. Assisted by readings and dramatizations of his works, the master of "magic realism" focuses on the supernatural aspects of his spellbinding narrative style, in an effort to convey his particular vision of the world." --Container
The author starts his discussion of the book by stating, "Like a lot of American readers, I have come to equate Latin American fiction with magical realism, that style of playful and exotic world-bending most closely associated with Gabriel García Márquez." He later states about the author, “Soldan is one of a number of Latin American writers associated with the McOndo literary movement. Rejecting magical realism, which some of these writers see as an exotic and politically correct export aimed for a Euro-American market, the McOndo writers instead embrace gritty urban realism -- a style fit to explore their concerns with money, power and pleasure in a globalized, technological world. In the place of Macondo -- the fabulous village that Marquez evoked in 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' -- these writers look through their windows (and computer screens) and see a world of McDonald's restaurants, iMacs and condos."

Notes:
"Early in Living to Tell the Tale, the first of Gabriel García Márquez's planned three-volume autobiography, the esteemed Colombian-born novelist lauds the work of a writer "whose prose was so amiable he could convince the reader that things had happened only because he recounted them.""
"The feud between the Colombian writer Gabriel García Márquez and Peruvian writer Mario Vargas Llosa, onetime best of friends, had all the elements of a literary classic: accusations of betrayal, jealousy and adultery, and a brutal encounter 31 years ago when things turned bloody. What it had lacked, however, was a wealth of documentary evidence. That all changed this month with the publication of two black-and-white portraits taken on Valentine's Day, 1976 in Mexico City that show Mr. García Márquez with a shiner - in turns smiling and serious - two days after being slugged by Mr. Vargas Llosa."
"The mayor of Gabriel García Márquez's hometown, Aracataca, failed in his quest to have it renamed Aracataca-Macondo, to honor the Nobel laureate who dubbed his fictional town Macondo in 'One Hundred Years of Solitude."

"Memories" is not in that class, but a smaller gem."

Viewed on 28 January, 2008.||"Gabriel García Márquez's newest novel is a departure in form for the Nobel Prize-winning author. While his previous fictional works were much flavored by Colombian culture, The General in His Labyrinth is the first to draw directly from the tortured and labyrinthine history of the region. The novel tells the story of the final journey of General Simón Bolívar, known as "The Liberator" in many South American countries."
Viewed on 28 January, 2008.||"Gabriel García Márquez-philes will instantly recognize it as the mythical Macondo of García Márquez's fiction. In Living to Tell the Tale, he describes Aracataca by citing One Hundred Years of Solitude's opening-paragraph depiction of Macondo. Linearly put, Tale traces the author's life to age 28, shortly after he completed his first novel, Leaf storm (1955; translation, 1979). It also retells his saga of the Gabriel García Márquez clan, now stripped of the magic-realist filigrees of Solitude (1970). García Márquez name-checks all his novels and catalogs the real-life events and persons that inspired their fictional counterparts. More importantly, the book lets us peek behind the curtain to see the wizard at work. It's a master class in the art of writing, as well as the art of living a writer's life, which isn't always the same thing."

She also suggests that the reader "think of "Memories," then, as the lustrously written story of a shipwrecked sailer, as "magic prurience" protected from severe criticism by the astounding prior achievement of its sainted but unsaintly author."
"Like the publication of Vivir para contarla, the novel's release came with a few surprises. Previously, Knopf lost thousands of sales for the author's autobiography because illegally imported foreign editions were readily available to his fans in the U.S. To avoid that mistake, the house joined forces with [Gabriel García] Márquez's agent, Carmen Balcells, and the book's other Spanish-language publishers for what was originally a worldwide release on October 27."

"Even the language, though it cannot avoid being rich under [Gabriel García Márquez]'s fingers, is direct. Though Spanish usually becomes shorter when rendered in English, the excellent [Edith Grossman] translation and the original Spanish version of 'Memories' are of roughly the same word count. García Márquez cunningly alludes to this economy when he quotes in the text from a Mexican poem that commends to writers given to verbosity 'torcerle el cuello al cisne,' which means 'to twist the neck of the swan.'"

Viewed on 24 January, 2008.||"La vida no es la que uno vivió, sino la que recuerda y cómo la recuerda para contarla" (Life is not what one lived, but how one remembers, and how one tells the tale). This is how Gabriel García Márquez begins the first volume of his memoirs, Vivir para contarla, whose world premiere is the 9th of October in Barcelona, Bogotá, Buenos Aires, and Mexico City. Meanwhile, Alvaro Mutis, friend of the Colombian Nobel, and one of the few people that has read the manuscript, has no doubt in his mind that he has "read a classic."
"One Hundred Years of Solitude is so ingrained in world culture that it has assumed the feel of an epic folktale- it's strange to think there was a time, not so long ago, when it wasn't around. Love in the Time of Cholera, Autumn of the Patriarch, and others aren't far behind. So it's cause for rejoicing that Gabriel García Márquez has chosen, while still clearly at the height of his powers, to embark on his autobiography, of which this book is the first in a projected trilogy. Readers will relish the chance to sift the Colombian author's life for the seeds of his magic realism, and the master doesn't disappoint."

In this review Stosuy reviews Memories of My Melancholy Whores along with John Barth's Where 3 Roads Meet: Novellas, stating, "John Barth and Gabriel García Márquez's newest don't rank with their best, though the septuagenarian grandmasters probably aren't sweating it. In Where 3 Roads Meet and Memories of My Melancholy Whores, it's their self-possession that's so intriguing."
Caleb Bach discusses Gregory Rabassa, a translator of many famous Latin American Works. He talks about the Rabassa's greatest qualities as a veteran translator and the effects of his work in the preservation of writings by many Latin American authors, including Gabriel García Márquez.
"Guadalajara's Feria Internacional del Libro (FIL), the Spanish-language world's most prominent book fair, celebrated its 18th anniversary in Mexico from November 27 to December 5. Every year, the fair gains more popularity as the place for the Spanish-language world's cultural elite to be and be seen. Mexican president Vicente Fox made an appearance on December 3 and all the crème de la crème of Spanish-language letters were available for close-ups. Gabriel García Márquez, still riding high from the remarkable international sales of his latest novella, Memoria de mis putas tristes (Memories of My Melancholy Whores), was spotted hitting the dance floor of the popular casino Veracruz with fellow Mexican Boom writer Carlos Fuentes."
"Según Gabriel García Márquez, Bill Clinton es un gran amante de la literatura, que conoce bien el Quijote, puede recitar de memoria páginas enteras de William Faulkner y adora, sobre todo, las 'Meditaciones' de Marco Aurelio..."
"Ganó el 'sombrero vueltiao', pero en su obra 'Del amor y otros demonios', el genial colombiano Gabriel García Márquez cuenta el momento en que 'el obispo y Delaura se sientan en las hamacas para ver el eclipse de sol.'
En 'Vivir para contarla', habla de destartaladas lanchas para llegar desde Barranquilla hasta sus natal Aracataca, que no eran más que 'limitaciones reducidas de los buques de vapor de Nueva Orleans, pero que tenían un saloncito con horcones para colgar hamacas en distintos niveles, y escaños de madera donde cada quien se acomodaba a codazos como pudiera con sus equipajes excesivos, bultos de mercancías, huacales de gallinas hasta cerdos vivos'."
In discussing his experiences as a Latino scholar Roberto Clemente states, "Few white Americans would immediately associate intelligence, literature, or scholarship with Latinos, in spite of internationally known figures like Gabriel García Márquez and Isabel Allende."

Notes:
In reviewing the book, this article by Michiko Kakutani criticizes Memoirs of My Melancholy Whores, stating that "like the entries in his 1993 collection "Strange Pilgrims," this tale demonstrates that the shorter form of the story does not lend itself to Mr. García Márquez's talents: his penchant for huge, looping, elliptical narratives that move back and forth in time is cramped in this format, as is his desire to map the panoramic vistas of an individual's entire life. The fertile inventiveness that animated his masterpiece "One Hundred Years of Solitude" is decidedly muted in these pages, and the reverence for the mundane realities of ordinary life, showcased in more recent works , seems attenuated as well. As a result, "Memories of My Melancholy Whores" feels like brittle little fable composed on automatic pilot."
