    Notes:
    Commenting on the newest generation of novelists from Colombia, Forero states that Jorge Franco's two latest novels contain no hint of magical realism, the style of outlandish imagery that Mr. García Márquez made famous. Instead, Franco deals with a female assassin in a drug-fueled world in Rosario Tijeras, and the struggles of Colombian immigrants in New York in Paraiso Travel. The basis of this article is how the new wave of Latin American authors have strayed away from the style of García Márquez and formed a new wave. "The long shadow of Gabriel García Márquez has begun to fade."
