Notes:
This article reviews two books by Ilan Stavans "Art and Anger: Essays on Politics and the Imagination" and "Imagining Columbus: The Literary Voyage." The author states, "At their best, these books offer insightful new readings of the ways in which literature has shaped the history of Latin America, from the moment Columbus read Marco Polo to the years Gabriel García Márquez has spend as an informal advisor to Fidel Castro." He later states, "'Art and Anger' is a collection of essays mostly about literature and politics in Latin America. Some are intended to introduce lesser-known writers such as Felipe Alfau, Ricardo Piglia, and Alfred Bryce Echenique, to a North American audience. Others reassess the titans of Latin American letters, such as Octavio Paz, Gabriel García Márquez, and Mario Vargas Llosa."

In a critical essay, Mario Lillo P studies the infrarrealistic aspects in the novel "Mantra", by Rodrigo Fresán. He briefly mentions Gabriel García Márquez when discussing style.
"Focuses on Edith Grossman's translations of Spanish literary masterpieces into the English language. Career background; Challenges in translating the works of Gabriel García Márquez; Background on her translation of "Don Quixote" by Miguel de Cervantes; Efforts of Grossman to promote literary works by lesser known Spanish writers; Faithfulness of literary translations."
"The bogus bootleg caper provided a surprise twist, and a flood of free publicity, to the book's Latin American release. The 112-page novella, [Gabriel García Márquez's] first major work of fiction in a decade, presents itself as the account of a washed-up newspaper columnist's desire to celebrate his 90th birthday by having sex with a young prostitute."
Analyzes " El mar de las lentejas" by Antonio Benítez Rojo. Briefly mentions similarities between this work and "Crónica de una muerte anunciada" by Gabriel García Márquez.
"Chock-full of hyperbole, symbolism, magic, tragedy and a good sense of humor, West Texans will be taken on a mystical and solemn ride through Latin America, courtesy of renown Colombian author Gabriel García Márquez. 'One Hundred Years of Solitude,' the most well-known and recognized work of the Nobel Prize winner, will be the topic of discussion Friday during the monthly meeting of UTPB's Spanish Literature Club. It has been translated into many languages, including English. With symbolism, folk tales and other literary elements usually found in Latin American literature, the book is considered by many critics the best Spanish Language contemporary novel, bested only by 'Don Quixote,' said Rhina Toruno-Haensly, adviser and founder of the club and professor of literature at the University of Texas of the Permian Basin."
"Rumores sobre la gravedad del escritor colombiano Gabriel García Márquez." "García Márquez ha escrito una carta dirigida a todos sus amigos, la cual ha sido publicada por entero en algunas revistas de Estados Unidos. Algunos de los párrafos nos han parecido sumamente interesantes, ternamente tocan el corazón y nos ponen a pensar. Los hemos copiado a continuación para beneficio de esas personas que todavía no hayan tenido la oportunidad de leerlos."
