It will not be of much surprise that Colombia, one of the most dangerous countries in the world, according to Gabriel García Márquez, finds itself in first place with a total of 972 kidnappings. Just as in the case of Gabriel García Márquez's News of a Kidnapping, the kidnappings are located in a gray area between politics and criminality, often being difficult to decide in which one it is classified, or if it's in both.

Viewed on 29 January, 2008.|Review of: Jerry Hoeg, Science, Technology, and Latin American Narrative in the Twentieth Century and Beyond. Based on his analysis of García Márquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude, and Isabel Allende's The House of the Spirits, Hoeg comes to the conclusion that contemporary Latin American fiction and criticism are characterized by rejecting technology as it is imposed by "foreign domination" and believing that it "leads inevitably to disastrous consequences."
