This article reviews two books by Ilan Stavans "Art and Anger: Essays on Politics and the Imagination" and "Imagining Columbus: The Literary Voyage." The author states, "At their best, these books offer insightful new readings of the ways in which literature has shaped the history of Latin America, from the moment Columbus read Marco Polo to the years Gabriel García Márquez has spend as an informal advisor to Fidel Castro." He later states, "'Art and Anger' is a collection of essays mostly about literature and politics in Latin America. Some are intended to introduce lesser-known writers such as Felipe Alfau, Ricardo Piglia, and Alfred Bryce Echenique, to a North American audience. Others reassess the titans of Latin American letters, such as Octavio Paz, Gabriel García Márquez, and Mario Vargas Llosa."

"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."
"Using the analysis applied to a short fragment of the novel One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez as a basis, the author proposes to expose the elements which constitute the process of paternalization (knowledge, bisexuality, narcissism, Œdipal complex, identifications, parricide, the earth, woman and negative work). In conclusion, the author proposes several hypotheses concerning possible extensions of the concept of filiation."--Scopus
