"After investigating the structure of the post-colonial dialectics promulgated in pan-American studies in the 1990's, I turn to a set of case studies of American authors, aiming to provide comparative accounts that are differentiating as well as synthetic. I consider how the subversive narrative work attributed to Gabriel García Márquez, a model for many pan-Americanist examinations of resistance discourse, can also be found in the work of archetypal "colonialist writer" Jorge Luis Borges, the villain of many post-colonial considerations of the hemisphere. Turning to North America, I compare two writers often placed alongside García Márquez, borderland authors Thomás Rivera and Rolando Hinojosa, investigating the subtle distinctions in cultural work that set them apart not only from García Márquez, but also from one another."

No longer available.||An opinion column about García Márquez and whether his book Vivir para contarla is an autobiography, his memoirs, or a new novel. The author claims that it is much more than that, that it is the historic retelling of an exceptional witness.

"This novel (by Manuel Vicent) tells the stories of a man and a woman, who are both mysteriously washed onto a Mediterranean shore dressed in wedding clothes. Vicent creates a unique and exuberant landscape of genuine love, in which even potentially grim details become part of a constant fiesta. His work, which recalls that of García Márquez, skillfully blends comedy, romance and tragedy"
Dueñas writes, "En el siglo XX, la fascinación con la figura de poder ha llevado a los escritores a incursionar en el mundo de lo político, incursión que ha estado teñida de tonos deslucidos: la aciaga derrota política de Mario Vargas Llosa a finales de la década de los 80 y principios de los 90; la constante y problemática presencia en público de García Márquez junto con Fidel Castro y, la cuestionable experiencia de Sergio Ramírez como representante del sandinismo en Nicaragua."

Viewed on 24 January, 2008.||This is an extensive conversation between Harry Morales and Gregory Rabassa where they discuss Rabassa's work as translator to many important Latin American authors such as Julio Cortázar and Gabriel García Márquez. ||Rabassa states, "Gabriel García Márquez, had complete faith in what I was doing and let me go my way. García Márquez ended up saying that he liked the English version of One Hundred Years of Solitude better than his Spanish original. He was probably just being gracious, but it was pleasing to hear in any case."

Notes:
This thesis attempts to explore the works of G. García Márquez, F. Cruz Kronfly, G. Espinosa y A. Mútis that propose a new image of Simón Bolívar, agent of the independence of the 19th century. Here, the purpose of thematic convergence and historical intent from the last two decades of the 20th century in the light of the complexity and tension presented in the Bolivar project of social unification of the American subcontinent during its national formation in the 19th century is investigated. It is proven that through these narrative works a divergence from the traditional historic discourse of the historic mother countries is manifested. In these, the dismount of the complex social and cultural condition, as well as the reconstruction of the present national panorama is proposed.
