"Estos autores, considerados 'hijos del boom,' analizaron la influencia en sus obras de algunos escritores de la época, como el cubano Guillermo Cabrera Infante, el mexicano Carlos Fuentes, y el chileno José Donso, en el curso de verano 'Nueva literatura de Extremo Occidente,' celebrado por la Universidad Complutense en la localidad madrileña de San Lorenzo del Escorial."
"Fernando Iwasaki definó el autor de 'Tres tristes tigres' como el escritor 'menos al uso' de todos los que compulsieron la generación del 'Boom', de la que fue uno de los miembros de menor popularidad y éxito de ventas, en comparación, especialmente, con Gabriel García Mátquez y Mario Vargas Llosa."
"'No era presa codiciada de los depredadores,' afirmó el autor del ensayo 'El Descubrimiento de España' (1996), en relación a la 'serena aceptación' y sentido del humor que monstraba Cabrera Infante al no saberse entre los escritores más populares del movimiento literario latinoamericano."

"You wouldn't expect the autobiography of Nobel Prize-winner Gabriel García Márquez to be just another life story. After all, this is the fellow who made magic realism into a literary brand. You know he has tricks up his sleeve... This isn't going to be just the facts. Living to Tell the Tale is a life reconstructed in the imagination." -Good
On Living to Tell the Tale: "This first volume (two more are in progress) takes us into his mid-twenties, beginning with his eight years of uncertain if idyllic childhood with his maternal grandparents in the dusty village of Aracataca, on through his stint as rising staff writer for the Bogotá daily, El Espectador. The book ends in suspense: Gabito (his nickname) departs for Geneva on assignment to cover a "Big Four" summit, and in the last line he finds at his Swiss hotel a letter from his sweetheart Mercedes, who is replying to his marriage proposal."

"En inglés, el término 'historia' se desdobla en dos vocablos, 'history' y 'story', que en castellano pueden identificarse como 'la' historia y 'una' historia, respectivamente. Gabriel García Márquez, periodista y novelista, asegura la originalidad de cada una de sus obras, historias en las que, partiendo de imágenes reales, ni una sola línea es inventada."
A passage from Gabriel Garcia Marquez's novel, Leaf Storm (1957), is used as an example to explain transculturation literature. The naturalist voice of the narrator is substituted for an "outward and inward vision," allowing the villager's perspective on modernization to coexist with an external view of events. Garcia Marquez's techniques provoke observations about literary historiography as the movement of culture, tradition, and institutions rather than as a project of classification.

Cobb states that the volume ends up in the air, with a double drama about to unfold in his late 20s.

Arango asserts that by trying to take on the theme of women in García Márquez, what stands out is the abundant absence of critical studies specific to the theme. In general, the themes most studied are social-historical affairs related to Latin American and Colombian history, intertextual relationships of style and the maturity of the author in the building of a national and popular art, and of course biographical themes.
In discussing Aimee Bender's writing Caldwell states that "Gabriel García Márquez once famously explained the credibility of magical realism by referring to the priest in "One Hundred Years of Solitude" who levitates each time he drinks a cup of hot chocolate: it's the chocolate, García Márquez said, that makes the levitation real. In Bender's world, the opposite holds true: her scaffoldings of unreality are there to hold the humanity within the story."

This generation towered over Latin America's literary scene for years."

"Jorge Luis Borges is one of the greatest writers of the 20th Century, best known for his intriguing short stories that play with philosophical ideas, such as identity, reality and language. His work, which includes poetry, essays, and reviews of imaginary books, has had great influence on magical realism and literary theory. He viewed the realist novel as over-rated and deluded, revelling instead in fable and imaginary worlds. He declared “people think life is the thing but I prefer reading”.
Translation formed an important part of his work, writing a Spanish language version of an Oscar Wilde story when aged around 9. He went on to introduce other key writers such as Faulkner and Kafka to Latin America, liberally making changes to the original work which went far beyond what was, strictly speaking, translation.
He lived most of his life in obscurity, finding recognition only in his sixties when he was awarded the International Publishers' Prize which he shared with Samuel Beckett. By this point he was blind but continued to write, composing poetry in his head and reciting from memory.
So how has Borges' work informed ideas about our experience of the world through language? How much was his writing shaped by his travel abroad and an unrequited love? And how has his legacy inspired the next generation of great Latin American authors such as Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Mario Vargas Llosa?"-- BBC Website
"This article profiles Oscar-winning playwright Ronald Harwood and his various ongoing projects. The author describes Harwood as someone who prides himself on being unfashionable. He has plays about to open in the West End including 'Collaboration,' which is about pro-Nazi composer Richard Strauss and Jewish librettist Stefan Zweig, and filming of his screenplay adaption of Gabriel García Márquez 'Love in the Time of Cholera,' is ongoing.
In this article the author states, "Just before Chavez took office in February 1999, Gabriel García Márquez accompanied him on a flight to Caracas from Havana, Cuba, where the Venezuelan president-elect had visited with Fidel Castro. 'I was overwhelmed by the feeling that I had just been traveling and chatting pleasantly with two opposing men,' the Colombian Nobel Laureate later wrote. 'One to whom the caprices of fate had given an opportunity to save his country. The other, an illusionist, who could pass into the history books as just another despot.'"
In a review of John Updike's book "Terrorist," William Pritchard states, "One of the book's epigraphs is from Gabriel García Márquez: 'Disbelief is more resistant than faith because it is sustained by the senses.' Accordingly, 'Terrorist' is packed with the sensuous testimony of details that impede and threaten [Ahmad Mulloy]'s quest. To a degree not seen since 'In the Beauty of the Lilies' (1996), with which it has other affinities, [John Updike]'s new novel is dense with these details. Ahmad's story unfolds in a wholly convincing representation of the worn out industrial landscape of northern New Jersey; or the imam's mosque at 278 1/2 W. Main St., above a nail salon and check-cashing facility; or the 'soot-stained ironstone' African-American church Ahmad once attends to hear, at her behest, his attractive classmate Joryleen sing in the choir, along with other Christian devils."

12 pages, This paper addresses consumer trust in organic food in order to find out which aspects increase and decrease trust and which trust expectations consumers have. The aim is to strengthen consumer trust on the basis of the findings and to develop trust-building measures. To this end, ten focus groups with German consumers were conducted online in February 2021 and evaluated using content analysis. The results show that there is a predominant lack of trust in organic food. This is based in particular on the fact that organic production is often doubted and there are from the consumer’s point of view too many organic labels. This can be attributed not only to a lack of knowledge on the part of consumers, but also to a lack of transparency within the organic sector and in relation to organic food. Results from the consumer's point of view show that the possibility of control, information and transparency are relevant for trust in organic food and the development of knowledge about organic food can positively influence this trust.

By examining the collection in terms of its intertextual elements, meta-narratorial conceits, well-structured narrative frame and non-specific geographical and historical context, Amago hopes to explain how the text functions not just as a collection of stories but as a unified fictive unit."

"Together with Mario Vargas Llosa and Gabriel García Márquez, Julio Cortázar was one of the most representative authors of the Latin American magical realism genre. Within his extensive body of work, many descriptions of characters suffering physical disabilities, as well as situations suggesting such medical conditions can be extracted. In this review, two short stories by Cortázar are presented. In the first one, the main character could easily be a man suffering from corticobasal degeneration; in the second, an old woman with symptoms suggestive of progressive supranuclear palsy is clearly depicted. Despite the fact that one of the main ingredients in Cortázar's magical realism is fiction, cases described here fit real medical conditions quite well, making it hard to believe that they represent purely fantastic descriptions rather than the product of Cortázar's inquisitive observation and the description of real patients."
"Latin Finance has compiled its second annual ranking of the 50 most powerful and influential people in Latin America and the Caribbean, spanning business, politics, government, academia, and even pop culture." Gabriel García Márquez appears as number 37.

This article analyzes the continuous presence of Darwinian elements in Gabriel García Márquez's works. For example, how the writer reduces and at the same time expands his pertinence. Almarza reflects on Gabriel García Márquez's texts, characters who live in the sun, humidity, rain and sea. The rain, the heat, and the humidity come to be the omnipresent element in his texts. It is a genetic mark; for Dostoyevsky this mark was the weight of individual conscience and for Balzac it is money or the inheritance of the characters, but for Gabriel García Márquez the genetic mark is the climatic presence of the Caribbean in his narrative creatures.
The author chooses to analyze how after Gabriel García Márquez won the Nobel prize, his novel reaches a broad diffusion, almost losing its roots, thus becoming pertinent that these be traced, reconstructing, piece by piece, the passionate process with which a writer comes to be who he is, in a continuous counterpoint of exploration of the reality and assimilation of the literary forms that allow him to express himself.
