Review and commentary on Brazilian mystery writer Luiz Alfredo Garcia-Roza, where a comparison is drawn: "Some critics have claimed that if Gabriel García Márquez had written crime novels, they would read much like Garcia-Roza's novels, suffused with atmosphere and often struck with wonder at the power of human interaction to both heal and wound."

"The Booker Prize, under fire for concentrating on fashionable and quirky writers, will attempt to regain its reputation for high seriousness with the launch of the "super Booker," a worldwide search for the living greats of fiction... The Independent understands that the reading list for the inaugural international prize - compiled at a recent secret meeting in Rome - already includes V.S. Naipul, the 2001 Nobel prize-winner from Trinidad; Margaret Atwood, the Canadian who won the Booker in 2000; John Updike, the Pulitzer prize-winner; Gabriel García Márquez, the master of magic realism; and Philip Roth, whose collected works are soon to appear in a Library of America edition."

As he saw it, what the continent desperately needed was a "factory of creative energy" where talented people from all over the world would feed off each other. Colombian writer Gabriel García Márquez has a house in Havana, and when García turned up to suggest the idea, Castro happened to be there. That same evening, the plan was agreed. I wondered how a novelist and an ex-guerrilla leader came to get so excited about building a film school. "I think they are both frustrated film-makers," grins García."

"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."

"The Violence (1946-1965) was the first arena of generalized violence in Colombia this century. This phenomenon left the terrifying memory of its more than two hundred thousand deaths, together with a country ruined politically and morally. The writers (novels and consecrates) left evidence of this in an enormous body of work that has been, in large part, negatively sanctioned and, in general, poorly researched. To construct a dispassionate critical judgment and a rigorous study of this literature it is necessary, in principal, to outline some criteria that will permit a clear delineation of the corpus of novels that integrate it."||To sustain his argument, Osorio brings up García Márquez's statement, "La literatura colombiana, un fraude a la nación" where he states that since colonial times, the Colombian literature has had at most three or four literary writers and has been encumbered with false prestige. Furthermore, he states that during the 50s no literary tradition or national literature existed; however, since the 50s there has been a surge in literary novels about the violence, among them, García Márquez's, Mejía Vallejo's, and Álvarez Gardeazábal's.
