Notes:
Specially-commissioned essays analyze Latin American history, politics, art and literature from the nineteenth century to the present and reveal the common heritage of pre-Columbian and colonial Latin America. Although the Portuguese and Spanish-speaking states created in the early 1820s differed greatly geographically and demographically (in ethnic composition and economic resources), they also shared distinct historical and cultural traits. A chronology and guide to further reading make this volume an invaluable introduction to the rich and varied culture of modern Latin America.

Notes:
"George McMurray, in his 1985 article, commented upon the links between the apocalyptic ending of 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' and the epiphany of Borges' 'El Aleph.' In this study I trace the origins of this vision in the work of the Colombian writer. As a young journalist, García Márquez wrote over 800 newspaper columns, several of which demonstrate his fascination for these pinnacle moments of vision or knowledge, a momentary glimpse of all time and space, an instant where the human imagination can capture the meaning of the universe. The novelist has repeatedly pointed to his early journalism as the laboratory for his mature fiction, the site that allowed him the opportunity for literary experimentation. It is my contention that the origins of the last Buendia's epiphany can be glimpsed in several columns which represent a leitmotif in García Márquez's early writing."

"In addition to Guillermo Valencia's conservative and religious political role, nowadays his is still known as the coldest and most relevant Parnassian poet of Latin American modernism. This is the main reason for the revisionist aim of this article, which deals with the modernist end of century themata (i.e., homosexuality, incest, misogyny, and the femme fatale icon, among others) in Valencia's original poetry published in Ritos. With the term poe-etica, it also stresses the influence of Edgar Allan Poe's romantic ethics and aesthetics in the artistic thought of popayanian lyric. Conceived through Roman Jakobson's model for the poetic function, this poe-etica equalizes the poet with the non-religious mystic or priest, whose mission is to bind the most extreme opposites. The Colombian poet usurps mystical language which- far from translating the mystical experience- makes every effort to communicate such coincidental oppositorum as can be represented in the sacred/profane duality. This is why the lyrical ego could become a queer priest in relation to a dead friend, in accordance with the gay reading of several images in Ritos. On the other hand, there are poems which also allow a feminist reading by reason of the patent misogyny present in the lyrical voice." García Márquez is discussed in relation to the topic.

Notes:
Mendoza mentions Vargas Llosa's book García Márquez: Historia de un deicidio, in which Vargas Llosa analyzes García Márquez's development of the forces which drove him to write and to create Macondo.
Gómez reviews of Por la libre: Obra periodística, v.4, 1974-1995, disclosing that Gabriel García Márquez focuses completely on the most important theme of that time: national and international politics during the 1970s, although the book includes work from the 80s and 90s. Most articles in Por la Libre, are dedicated to leftist political activity during these years in Colombia, Latin America, Europe, and Africa. All of Gabriel García Márquez's articles are written with his usual documentary objectivity in terms of the facts, although his comments and point of view correspond to his personal appreciation. Por la Libre can only have the validity that each of its articles, chronicles, surveys, and interiews had in the past, especially as a compilation. Few like Gabriel García Márquez could offer the mastery that has made him famous world wide, whether it is with his journalistic work or his works of fiction.

Notes:
Iwasaki strongly states his desire not to be compared with anybody and insists that no author wants to be compared to authors such as Vargas Llosa, García Márquez, Fuentes, and Cortázar, among others. In other words, today's authors will not be the same as these great artists from the past, and it is harder for new authors to become world-renown because of the expectations that they have to fulfill.
"John Sayles's film Lone Star provides insights relevant to the task of remapping "The South" within a broader hemispheric context. In his homage to the genealogical obsessions of such writers as Faulkner and García Márquez, Sayles explores the challenge posed by the determinism of a paternalistic past. The film stresses the paradoxical meaning of incest as reconciliation: history must be revisited precisely so that it can be rendered irrelevant to the task of re-imagining racial and regional identities in a plural America."

Gamboa expresses his opinions on magic realism, how it has developed, and how it has been taken in by the youth.

"This paper looks at some problems deriving from Neruda’s relationship with books and literary culture. It lays open the anti-literary positions that the poet announces in different texts and tries to sketch a conciliation of these positions with the love of books that Neruda not only declared but also exercised in his zeal as collector and in his readings. At the same time some of his ideas about poetry and the obligations of the poet are examined." Briefly names García Márquez in a list of poets and writers.
