"Rumores sobre la gravedad del escritor colombiano Gabriel García Márquez." "García Márquez ha escrito una carta dirigida a todos sus amigos, la cual ha sido publicada por entero en algunas revistas de Estados Unidos. Algunos de los párrafos nos han parecido sumamente interesantes, ternamente tocan el corazón y nos ponen a pensar. Los hemos copiado a continuación para beneficio de esas personas que todavía no hayan tenido la oportunidad de leerlos."
Viewed on 29 January, 2008. || In this article Sabino discuses Marcelo Bucheli's book "Bananas and Business: The United Fruit Company in Colombia." In his discussion he states, "The massacre of UFCO laborers is important because this infamous event forms part of the company's 'terrible reputation' (p.3): Colombian novelist Gabriel García Márquez tells the story in his novel One Hundred Years of Solitude, referring to three thousand deaths, a deliberate inflation of the number of victims to make the story more spectacular... The fact that García Márquez's imaginative work has had so much influence on scholars is, I think, in part the reason for the intellectual bias against UFCO that prevails in Latin America."
De Guerva studies Marcelo Bucheli's work "Bananas and Business. The United Fruit Company in Colombia" and discusses enterprises in Columbia and Latin America. He references García Márquez' work, "Cien Años de Soledad," where historical information about the enterprise is found.
