Notes:
"This corruption of the famous opening sentence of García Márquez's classic One Hundred Years of Solitude risks cheapening one of the most elegant and hypnotic passages of modern literature. Its only defense is its truth. If there is one lesson to be gleaned from García Márquez's engrossing memoir, Living to Tell the Tale, it is that the author who single-handedly defined the genre of "magic realism" drew some of his most memorable and fantastic tales from the rich history of his family and native Colombia."

Puri writes a response to her critics on her various works. Towards the end of the article she notes how, in response to Marc Brudzinski, she "could have explored more fully the issue of regional/ transnational/non-local readerships," which she states would "probably lie in the moment when I read Carpentier and García Márquez and 'recognized' India in them."
