Viewed on January 24, 2008.||"The parade of literary fashion invariably passes, and Gabriel García Márquez's Macondo, the folksy, fictional village that embodied and, in part, defined the notion of magical realism, has been replaced by McOndo, a contemporary Latin American literary trend of gritty, urban realism, its name a takeoff on García Márquez's Macondo and a combination of the words "McDonald's," "Macintosh," and "condo.""

"Sue Macgregor, presenter of the Radio 4 series, A Good Read, tells York Membery about her favourite novels..." Love in The Time Of Cholera is one of them. She states that "the warm slow prose and the magic realism Márquez has made famous, matches the dreamy heat of the South American setting."

Notes:
In this review of Gabriel García Márquez's Memories of My Melancholy Whores Peter Wolfe discusses the plot and states, "This little book redefines joy. Gabriel García Márquez, having honed his craft for decades, needs only a couple of pages both to grab our attention and to win our trust. From the start, no clumsy syntax, descriptive overload, or psychological murk fouls his art."
