New York publisher, Alfred Knopf, has announced that the book will be released in Spanish in Latin America, the United States and Spain on 27 October. Such is the anticipation that pirated copies are already available in Bogotá, the capital of Colombia."

The promotion of the character who inspired El coronel no tiene quien le escriba of the 1982 Nobel laureate Gabriel García Márquez was not granted by a Colombian court, who denied a judicial action interposed for that purpose, the press in Bogotá announced. Nicolás Márquez Mejía, maternal grandfather of the writer, and who inspired this novel, waited for more than fifteen years for a letter that confirmed his military pension, but now he will continue without the official payment and without promotion.

In this review of Salvador Plascencia McSweeney's The People of Paper Hernandez states that "It's hard not to draw comparisons between Slavador Plascencias's first novel, "The People of Paper", and Gabriel García Márquez's seminal masterpiece, "One Hundred Years of Solitude"." He also states that "Plascencia acknowledges García Márquez as a major influence in his writing, but "The People of Paper" strays from being the "One Hundred Years of Solitude" for turn-of-this-century Southern California when it ventures into the world of Federico's enemy, sadness."
18 pages, Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) are known to have a wide range of negative impacts upon nearby residents and communities. Therefore, the siting of such operations in economically underdeveloped rural communities is an important environmental justice issue. This study explores the environmental conflict that surrounded a proposed CAFO in Bayfield County, Wisconsin. In this struggle, an outside corporation attempted to site a new CAFO in a community that was highly divided on the issue. We draw complementary insights from the environmental justice, stakeholder theory, and rural studies literatures to explain how the opponents of the CAFO were ultimately able to successfully resist the unwanted land use. This theoretical framework treats the formation of environmental inequalities as a process of conflict among diverse parties in which the potentially impacted communities may strongly influence the eventual outcome. Through interviews with key stakeholders and analysis of local and state media sources, we examine the primary points of contention within the local community along with the relative claims making and discursive strategies employed by each side. The findings of this study imply that how rural communities construct their identity and define potential environmental hazards are central to deciding environmental conflicts.

"The Nobel laureate Gabriel García Márquez appears to have had the last laugh on copyright pirates by changing the ending of his latest book, his first novel in ten years, Memoria de mis putas tristes."

"Now Macondo and the author's birthplace near Colombia's Caribbean coast may become forever joined. To reverse a half-century of economic decline, town leaders hope to cash in on their favorite son's international fame by changing the town's name to "Aracataca-Macondo." "We want to exploit García Márquez's legacy in the best sense of the word," said Mayor Pedro Sanchez, 37, who proposed a March referendum on whether to change the name."
"Residents of the hometown of Gabriel García Márquez were voting Sunday on whether to honor the Nobel Prize-winning author by changing the town's name to Macondo, the fictitious tropical hamlet in his masterwork 'One Hundred Years of Solitude.'"
"Nobel laureate novelist Gabriel García Márquez has been snubbed by the population of his hometown who are refusing to change its name to that of his famous fictitious location Macondo."
In describing his books as surrealism Sean Murphy states, "It's like what Gabriel García Márquez would say about South America: "It's not surreal. That's the way life is here." You don't have to push it too far for it to become absurd."

"Que un hombre conciba el plan de reglarse a sí mismo, en la víspera de sus noventa años, una noche de placer con una joven virgen suena como algo del todo imposible, aparte de ridículo, pero en las manos de Gabriel García Márquez esa delirante fantasía erotica se convierte, no solo en una situación plausible, sino también en una historia conmovedora y llena de una delicada y profunda sabiduría humana."

Laporte mentions that the new book by the Chilean author, Alberto Fuguet, with the tentative title Las películas de mi vida, is judged by the critics as a "rotten product of globalization." For many Latin American authors who consider writing as a medium to speak about nationalism, postcolonialism, and history, the irreverence that Fuguet shows toward his land of origin with his tone and the scenes he uses, is a betrayal. Of him it is said that he sold out to American culture and that he is a rotten product of globalization.

In reviewing Memories of My Melancholy Whores the author states, "The novel's narrative does creak with age, and its novella-length brevity suggests that García Márquez's stamina may be fading. Yet the author still manages to grace Melancholy Whores with passages of limber loveliness and pithy aphorisms."
Noor discusses the difficult work of translation and takes Gregory Rabassa as an example, saying, "We all know the service Gregory Rabassa rendered to the Colombian novelist Gabriel Garcia Marquez in the English language. Without him, Garcia Marquez would not be what he is today in modern world literature. Thus a translator should remember, whatever her theoretical stance is on translation, she can make or break a writer in an alien tongue."

In his review of Memories of My Melancholy Whores, Creasy compares the book to Roth's The Dying Animal and concludes, "While Memories of My Melancholy Whores has certain charm, it lacks the historical sweep of the earlier novel, or any similar sense of substantial national allegory. Nor are its claims to present passion as convincing as, say, Love in the Time of Cholera. In its favor, the book is only 128 pages long. It may console you to know that you won't be much older by the time you finish it."

In this review the author states, "At a little more than 100 pages, "Memories of My Melancholy Whores" is really more a novella than a novel and could appear to be a trifle in a large body of work. It is the author's first work of fiction in a decade, which is cause enough to celebrate, but it is also his best work of fiction in the past 20 years. It is an existential riff on the many qualities of love and a skillfully controlled and disciplined work of literature."

"The Latin American writers recounts his early years in a book that John Freeman said, "has all the weight and storytelling prowess of his two masterpieces, Love in the Time of Cholera and One Hundred Years of Solitude."
"In the present review of twelve pieces produced by distinguished 20th century Latin American writers--Jorge Luis Borges from Argentina, Jorge Amado and Joa?o Ubaldo Ribeiro from Brazil, Jose? Donoso from Chile, Gabriel Garci?a Ma?rquez from Colombia, Alejo Carpentier from Cuba, Miguel Angel Asturias from Guatemala, Octavio Paz from Mexico, Mario Vargas Llosa from Peru?, Horacio Quiroga and Mario Benedetti from Uruguay and Arturo Uslar-Pietri from Venezuela--paragraphs or parts of paragraphs in which parasitological or entomological situations of the most varied hues are referred to or described, have been extracted in a selective form. Sometimes in these descriptions appear, local or regional expressions, without ignoring colorful folklore representations. For a easier interpretation these or part of these paragraph sentences have been arranged by thematic similarities. In a varied and kaleidoscopic vision, it will be possible to find protozoiasis (malaria, Chagas disease, leishmaniasis, amebiasis), helminthiases (ascariasis, hydatidosis, trichinosis, schistosomiasis, cysticercosis, onchocerciasis), parasitoses produced by arthropods (pediculosis, scabies, tungiasis, myiasis), passing progressively to hemaphagous arthropods (mosquitoes, gnats, horse flies, bedbugs, ticks), venomous arthropods (Latrodectus spiders, scorpions, wasps, bees), mechanical vectors (flies and cockroaches), culminating with a conjunction of bucolic arthropods (butterflies, crickets, grasshoppers cicadas, ants, centipedes, beetles, glow worms, dragonflies)." --Scopus
