About Memoirs of My Melancholy Whores, the reviews writes that "the narrator's wit and charm, however, are not enough to counterbalance the monotony of his aimlessness. Though enough grace notes are struck to produce echoes of eloquence, this flatness keeps the memories as melancholy as the women themselves."

Notes:
The novels about Latin American dictatorships are formed by elements that denounce the social, political, and economic problems of the towns that configure the Latin American world. Their main objective is to create a conscience of injustice and of the damage that men are submitted to in their environment. So that, the theme in "La figura literaria del dictador en "Tirano Banderas,"" "El Señor Presidente," and "El Otoño del Patriarca" studies the similarities and the differences in these novels with other Latin American authors who have studied the theme of dictatorships. By studying the thematic and stylistic development of these novels, we can see that Ramón del Valle-Inclán, Miguel Angel Asturias, and Gabriel García Márquez enter in the field of experimentation. In this way, the works contribute to the creation of a critical space that facilitates the study, interpretation, and the knowledge of the works that literally deal with the theme of Latin American dictatorship.

Mujica reviews the book Luminous Cities by Eduardo García Aguilar. Part of the book takes place on the coast of Colombia, in the town of Riohacha. Mujica writes, "This area known for its violence and lawlessness is also the inspiration for the best loved novels of Gabriel García Márquez, whom the people venerate, along with Octavio Paz. In this beautiful but savage land, children and their teachers flock to the public library and films by García Márquez attract steady crowds. In Riohacha the juxtaposition of the magical and the commonplace that marks García Márquez's writing is just part of the landscape."

Serna reviews Viaje literario por América Latina de Francesco Varanini (Traducción de Attilio Pentimalli) El Acantilado, Barcelona, 2000. Serna writes, "García Márquez, según Varanini, escribió Cien años de soledad de manera oral, como un juglar, con feliz abandono, siguiendo el ritmo de la voz de su abuela. Después del éxito de Cien años..., el autor describirá el Caribe como los lectores extranjeros quieren verlo. Su estilo, dice Varanini, es legendario, exagerado, novelesco, está mecanizado, como una ''máquina retórica codificada''.

Review of Karen Christian's Origins of Identity. Vargas writes, "Even though Christian concurs with other critics that the works of Latinas and Latinos are often unjustly measured up against great Spanish American masters-Borges, Cortazar, Fuentes, and Garcia Marquez-she also concedes that in some cases the comparisons are warranted." Christian cites a number of similarities between the works of these Latina/Latino writers and those of García Márquez.
