It also states how not only is Gabriel García Márquez making his family proud, but he is also the pride of Colombia, of those who speak his same language, of those who also share the same kind of job. Vivir para contarla is not only the life of Gabriel García Márquez, but also the story, an allegory of the Colombia full of violence, magic, solitude, austerity, horror, creative spirit, and ghosts.

"In 1997, when the University of Mississippi Libraries put together A Faulkner 100: The Centennial Exhibition, the University archivist invited Colombian author Gabriel García Márquez to contribute a piece. The reflections of this author who, in the archivist's words, "is indelibly associated with the number one hundred," were, appropriately, the final item in the exhibition of one hundred items of Faulkneriana."

Viewed on 24 January, 2008.||Only in the last decades of the past century have Europe and the United States begun to notice Latin American literature, by reading it through the works of Borges and García Márquez. In literature only with García Márquez, the US and Europe noticed that in Latin America there was something to read, even to imitate. Almost all of the tales in "Veinticinco cuentos Barranquilleros" unites the city of Barranquilla and its surroundings. They are not stories of authors from Barranquilla, but stories of authors who reside there, or at one point resided there. However García Márquez is not included among them. Maybe it is because he never wrote a story with Barranquilla as the background.

Notes:
"Many novels from the 1970s and 1980s demonstrate an awareness of this through intertextuality with the chronicles of conquest and colonization: Mexican Carlos Fuentes's Terra Nostra (1975); Colombian Gabriel García Márquez's El otoño del patriarca (1975), published in translation as The Autumn of the Patriarch; Cuban Alejo Carpentier's El arpa y la sombra (1979), published in translation as The Harp and the Shadow; Colombian Albalucía Ángel's Las andariegas (The wandering women, 1983); Argentine Griselda Gambaro's Lo impenetrable (1984); and Mexican Margo Glantz's Síndrome de naufragios (Shipwreck syndrome, 1984) do not represent linear historical narratives, nor do they deal exclusively with the conquest, but they do draw heavily upon the colonial chronicles in the formation of innovative narratives that transcend particular chronological periods."

The promotion of the character who inspired El coronel no tiene quien le escriba of the 1982 Nobel laureate Gabriel García Márquez was not granted by a Colombian court, who denied a judicial action interposed for that purpose, the press in Bogotá announced. Nicolás Márquez Mejía, maternal grandfather of the writer, and who inspired this novel, waited for more than fifteen years for a letter that confirmed his military pension, but now he will continue without the official payment and without promotion.

Such poem was denounced as apocryphal and García Márquez declared that the only thing that worries him is that his readership may think that he would write such a thing.

"How could the same characterizations have a purchase on textual worlds as different as Barthelme's parodic games, Italo Calvino's self-generating narratives, Gabriel García Márquez's magic realism, and Toni Morrison's brooding reframing of American history? In what follows, the postmodernist generalizations I shall offer refer mainly to the brilliant, brittle American fictions of the "60s and "70s."

Viewed on 24 January, 2008.||"La vida no es la que uno vivió, sino la que recuerda y cómo la recuerda para contarla" (Life is not what one lived, but how one remembers, and how one tells the tale). This is how Gabriel García Márquez begins the first volume of his memoirs, Vivir para contarla, whose world premiere is the 9th of October in Barcelona, Bogotá, Buenos Aires, and Mexico City. Meanwhile, Alvaro Mutis, friend of the Colombian Nobel, and one of the few people that has read the manuscript, has no doubt in his mind that he has "read a classic."

Notes:
The American filmmaker, Francis Ford Coppola, readily admitted that he would like to make a film about the Liberator, Simón Bolívar. And for that, it could be based on a novel by the Colombian author, Gabriel García Márquez, particularly The General in his Labyrinth, with the help of the author himself.
