"This article, inspired by a TV interview with the Nobel Prize-winner Gabriel García Márquez, revises the ways that the fiction in One Hundred Years of Solitude has been accepted as history. In particular, it raises some questions about how literary critics and historians have accepted as history Garci?a Ma?rquez's rendition of the events during the strike that took place in Colombia in 1928. It examines the repressive nature of the Colombian regime and of the strike itself; it also examines the idea that following the strike there was a sort of 'conspiracy of silence' to erase the truth from the nation's history."

"In this paper the author discusses the situation of children handed over to grandparents or to other relatives of the natural parents to be brought up. She notes that such children are faced with the riddle of their own filiation and postulates that this scenario often conceals an oedipal fantasy to the effect that the child concerned is the fruit of an incestuous relationship between a grandparent and the relevant parent. Following the example of Freud, the author adduces literary models for illustration. As with the Oedipus of Sophocles, the author shows how efforts to thwart the workings of fate actually bring about the consummation of the tragedy in the form of incest, which is favoured by the confused oedipal configuration in the families of handed-over children. The main argument is based on the characters and situations of two novels by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, written at different times in his life. With reference to the psychoanalytic literature on artistic creativity, the author shows the importance of the mid-life crisis in determining how Garcia Marquez came to terms with the fact of having himself been entrusted to grandparents as a child and how this situation is reflected in the works concerned." -- Scopus
"This Special Issue contains 12 papers on the theme of literature which holds representations beyond geographical reality, invoking instead states of mind, moods, and milieus, which widen our understanding of the world. Specifically, the following themes are addressed: the influence of Anglo-American humanist geography and the lesser known directions pursued by European humanist geographers; the experiences of a mental institution as portrayed by Janet Frame's Faces in the water; understandings of landscape and inscape from the writings of the eastern Ontario region; recent developments in literary resource interpretation; writing and iconography in romantic voyaging in the Alps; Dicken's representation of London and its reliance on verisimilitude; the texts of Beatrix Potter as a form of cultural communication; the works of Ippolito Nievo and what they reveal about the Friulian landscape; tellurism, mythical realism and magical realism in the works of South Americal writers Jose M. Arguedas, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and Pablo Neruda; and poets and narrators and their local perceptions of Mendoza, Argentina." -- Scopus
"In the present review of twelve pieces produced by distinguished 20th century Latin American writers--Jorge Luis Borges from Argentina, Jorge Amado and Joa?o Ubaldo Ribeiro from Brazil, Jose? Donoso from Chile, Gabriel Garci?a Ma?rquez from Colombia, Alejo Carpentier from Cuba, Miguel Angel Asturias from Guatemala, Octavio Paz from Mexico, Mario Vargas Llosa from Peru?, Horacio Quiroga and Mario Benedetti from Uruguay and Arturo Uslar-Pietri from Venezuela--paragraphs or parts of paragraphs in which parasitological or entomological situations of the most varied hues are referred to or described, have been extracted in a selective form. Sometimes in these descriptions appear, local or regional expressions, without ignoring colorful folklore representations. For a easier interpretation these or part of these paragraph sentences have been arranged by thematic similarities. In a varied and kaleidoscopic vision, it will be possible to find protozoiasis (malaria, Chagas disease, leishmaniasis, amebiasis), helminthiases (ascariasis, hydatidosis, trichinosis, schistosomiasis, cysticercosis, onchocerciasis), parasitoses produced by arthropods (pediculosis, scabies, tungiasis, myiasis), passing progressively to hemaphagous arthropods (mosquitoes, gnats, horse flies, bedbugs, ticks), venomous arthropods (Latrodectus spiders, scorpions, wasps, bees), mechanical vectors (flies and cockroaches), culminating with a conjunction of bucolic arthropods (butterflies, crickets, grasshoppers cicadas, ants, centipedes, beetles, glow worms, dragonflies)." --Scopus

In conclusion, the author proposes several hypotheses concerning possible extensions of the concept of filiation."--Scopus

Macarena Areco writes about the rise of the hybrid novel in Spain and Latin America. In the article, Ignacio Padilla speaks about the Boom writers, including García Márquez.
Rodero states: "The fantastic represents a constant in Latin American narrative of the 20th Century. This article analyzes the presence and evolution of this narrative mode in Latin American literature through the study of four short stories, each representing a different literary trend: the ‘modernismo’ of marvelous tone (‘El ángel caído,’ Amado Nervo), the demystifying magical realism (‘Un señor muy viejo con unas alas enormes,’ Gabriel García Márquez), the transgressive post-boom (‘El ángel caído,’ Cristina Peri Rossi), and the feminist post-modernism (‘Moraleja para ángeles,’ Sonia González Valdenegro). The main theories on the fantastic are reviewed and used in the particular analysis of the short stories: from the classic distinction established by Todorov between the marvelous, the uncanny, and the fantastic to the most recent critical studies (Lucie Armitt, Remo Ceserani, etc.), including other decisive and essential contributions such as those by Rosemary Jackson and Irène Bessière."

"Mestizo y seminal como el continente en que rebrota, el género de la crónica, tan cultivado en tiempos de la conquista y de la colonia en América para dar noticia al emperador Carlos I de España y V de Alemania de los asuntos de Indias, no sólo es relevante por su carácter histórico y su relación con otros géneros, sino tambiénpor ser, como señala Gabriel García Márquez en su discurso de recepción del premio Nobel de literatura, el germen de nuestras novelas de hoy, es decir el origen de lo que sería la principal tendencia artística de las letras hispanoamericanas del siglo XX; el realismo mágico o lo [real maravilloso], como lo denominó su creador, Alejo Carpentier, algunas décadas atrás, término que, a pesar de haberse aplicado indiscriminadamente como rótulo a demasiados novelistas hispanoamericanos, acabó por convertirse en el sello personal del Nobel colombiano."
"Las novelas de Gabriel García Márquez y Augusto Roa Bastos abarcan temas grandes y variados. Con fecuencia sus obras se enfrentan con historias tanto nacionales como continentales, historias latinoamericanas que residen entre el mito y el archivo. 'El otoño del patriarca' (1975) y 'Yo el Supremo' (1974) son novelas del dictador que juegan con el concepto del poder, tratando el poder desde el lado de la impotencia o, másprecisamente, desde el lado de la muerte. En realidad, la muestra de la doble cara del poder es solamente uno de los desdoblamientos que sirve de base estructural y temática de estas dos obras en las que cada elemento se transforma en su contrario: la vida en la muerte, la muerte en la vida, el gran ditador en ser miserable y solitario, y el héroe en traidor. Cada una de las dos obras ocupa el lugar entre dos muertes, y es interesante notar también que cada dictador tiene su doble--o dobles. Es como si el dictador tuviera dos cuerpos, uno natural y sujeto a las leyes de la biología y otro de otra sustancia, quizás sublime o sobrenatural, que perduraría en el tiempo, o por lo menos dentro de los límites de la narrativa. En este ensayo propongo explorar a fondo las relaciones entre el cuerpo y el poder del dictador." (From article)
"'All the great writers have good eyes' is a sentence by V. Nabokov that is very suitable for G.G. Márquez and his One Hundred Years of Solitude. The novel, published in 1967, introduces among many others, the character of little Rebeca, whose frailness and greenish skin revealed hunger 'that was older than she was'. The girl, because of a pica syndrome, only liked to eat earth and the cake of whitewash. But her fate appears to be determined by the lethal insomnia plague, whose most fearsome part was not the impossibility of sleeping but its inexorable evolution toward a loss of memory in which the sick person 'sinks into a kind of idiocy that had no past'. Rebeca's lethal insomnia looks quite similar to the 'peculiar, fatal disorder of sleep' originally described by Lugaresi et al. in 1986. One Hundred Years of Solitude shows that G.G. Márquez was gifted not only with good eyes, but has the seductive power of changing reality into fantasy, while transforming his visions into reality."-- Scopus
Detwiler says of Crónica de una muerte anunciada, "a short narrative by perhaps the most famous of the Boom writers, García Márquez's 1981 work dismantles the steps involved in producing an eyewitness account of a past event...[and] equates the production of eyewitness testimony with the act of making fiction."

"El canon literario por su parte ha venido idealizando la mujer en su imaginidad pureza mientras que al mismo tiempo la margina y demoniza cuando no se subordina a la autoridad masculina. No ocurre esto, sin embargo, en 'Cien años de soledad. A pesar de que la crítica ha venido afirmando que se puede clasificar a los personajes femeninos según la dictomía citada, un relectura a la luz tanto de la teología feminista como de la mitología potencia una interpretación mucho más matizada."

"Uno de los rasgos más característicos de la obra de Gabriel García Márquez - y de los menos comentados - es su extraño recorrido inverso. Normalmente, la trayectoria de un escritor suele ir desde un periodo inicial, de aprendizaje e imitación en el que se practican ciertos modelos literarios establecidos y se homenajea a los grandes maestros de la tradición, hasta un momento de madurez en el que, poco a poco, y habitualmente con lentitud y dudas, el autor contruye su propio mundo. En el caso del maestro colombiano, como digo, el recorrido ha sido el inverso, García Márquez inicia su trayectoria literaria con la obsesión por la construcción de un mundo, el mundo mítico de Macondo, y a esa obsesión están dedicadas sus primeras obras, 'La Hojarasca,' 'El coronel no tiene quien le escriba,' 'Los funerales de la Mamá Grande,' 'La mala Hora'..., hasta conseguir recrearlo en su obra maestra 'Cien años de soledad.'"

"Que un hombre conciba el plan de reglarse a sí mismo, en la víspera de sus noventa años, una noche de placer con una joven virgen suena como algo del todo imposible, aparte de ridículo, pero en las manos de Gabriel García Márquez esa delirante fantasía erotica se convierte, no solo en una situación plausible, sino también en una historia conmovedora y llena de una delicada y profunda sabiduría humana."

Tan evidentes son dos temáticas que se injertan en el tronco de Cronos y cruzan casi todos los textos del imaginación del Nobel colombiano: los amores difíciles y el Poder."
