Notes:
Pearlman quotes a review by Stephen McCauley on One Hundred Years of Solitude which states that "after reading this novel there was no forgetting that modern literature is bigger than the English language. Marquez took the top of my head off with the incantational beauty of his imagination, the mythic explication of South American history, the living ghosts and the dead ghosts, the dizzying repetition of names from one generation to the next."

Notes:
"In the recently published first volume of his memoirs, Living to Tell the Tale, Gabriel García Márquez makes it clear right from the beginning that his autobiography won't just be about what really happened. His memory of events is in various places irreconcilable with "the facts." It is an old magical realist's dream of the past, not an attempt at historical recovery. Memories of My Melancholy Whores is a short novel, a novella really, written in much the same spirit."
