"En cambio, en la Ciudad de Mexico, donde Random House Mandadori y [Diana] hicieron un tiraje inicial de 100,000 libros, hubo librerías que se ingeniaron formas de recibir desde hace dos días la novela donde Gabo recrea una fascinación literaria que comparte con otros grandes escritores ante un argumento tan suscinto como inquietante: la incursión que hace un anciano en la frontera entre el sueño, el eros, el amor, y la muerte, escoltado por 'el arrullo de la respiración apacible' de una virgen."

Alzate Vargas recounts the story of the first classic book that he read and says, "One Hundred Years of Solitude didn't belong to my father. I doubt that he ever was interested in García Márquez." He goes on to describe his feelings about the cover, as well as his feelings upon reading it.
Cánovas discusses allegory in various Latin American works, among them, García Márquez's La increíble y triste historia de la cándida Eréndira y de su abuela desalmada.
In reviewing Jorge Franco's new book, Abani states that "Jorge Franco is a founding member of the self-anointed McOndo School of writers from South and Central America, who opt for harder, grittier urban reality than their magical realist forebears, such as Jorge Amado and Gabriel García Marquez. (The name McOndo itself is a play on Macondo, García Márquez's own Yoknapatawpha County.) But even thought the Characters in Franco's books fly in airplanes rather than through the air by magic, the social placements of these literary movements remain close."
