A jury integrated by Eduardo Mendoza, Félix de Azúa, Guillermo Cabrera Infante, Luis Goytisolo, Jorge Volpi, and Fernando Savater among other authors and experts, gave out the Second Bartolomé March Prize to the best book of literary criticism of the year, La verdad de las mentiras, by Mario Vargas Llosa. ||Another book by Vargas Llosa that is very important in literary criticism is Gabriel García Márquez: Historia de un deicidio (1971). When asked if he would allow for a reedition of this book, Vargas Llosa responded "Maybe in the future. Why not? The problem is that I need to revise and rewrite almost the whole thing, just like I did with La verdad de las mentiras. Since I wrote it, García Márquez has published other important works."

There are 24,650 Colombians without a permit for residence living in Spain; without papers, the number triplicates. The eminent demand to have a visa to enter Spain makes the wound deeper. Seven world renown Colombian authors are at the front of acting against the law that requires every Colombian to have a visa to enter Spain. García Márquez says that asking for a visa when entering Spain would be like asking for a visa to enter their own mother's house.

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.

Viewed on 24 January, 2008.||"The idea for the film school occurred to García 17 years ago. As he saw it, what the continent desperately needed was a "factory of creative energy" where talented people from all over the world would feed off each other. Colombian writer Gabriel García Márquez has a house in Havana, and when García turned up to suggest the idea, Castro happened to be there. That same evening, the plan was agreed. I wondered how a novelist and an ex-guerrilla leader came to get so excited about building a film school. "I think they are both frustrated film-makers," grins García."
