Notes:
"Younger writers, such as Gabriel García Márquez, Julio Cortázar, Carlos Fuentes, and Mario Vargas Llosa, the future stars of the so-called Latin American boom, admired Borges for his ironic, understated prose style, which was seen as quite revolutionary in Spanish at the time, as well as for his essays advocating the fabulous and fantastic in narrative fiction, which had prepared the theoretical ground since the early 1930s for the eventual emergence of "magical realism.""

Notes:
"This meritorious novel won first prize in the Concurso de Novela Primera Plana- Sudamericana (Judges: García Márquez, Marechal and Roa Bastos). It presents a profound and sensitive study of the problem of guilt and its assessment and the tragedy of human failure and estrangement. The narrative point of view, which is multiple and rapidly changing, is very effective."

Notes:
"This is a balanced, carefully researched, and sensitively written look at Fidel Castro and his legacy in Cuba. It shows the warts on thelegacy--- the economic problems, the reluctance to adjust to a changed world-- but it also notes that Castro has brought about an egalitarian society and that he has been true to his revolutionary principles. I have been involved in the Cuban drama since I first arrived in Havana in 1958 as Third Secretary of the old American Embassy. Yet even I learned much from this book. I highly recommend it." -- Wayne S, Smith, the former Chief of the US Interests section in Havana (1979-1982), is now an Adjunct Professor at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore and a Senior Associate of the Center for International Policy in Washington, DC. The work refers to García Márquez on listed pages.
