Viewed 24 January, 2008.|In a conversation of paradoxical permanence with the last foreign member of the Barranquilla group, Jacques Gilard, the narrator Marvel Moreno affirms: In Barranquilla everything disappears. The humidity and the termites eat the books, objects, and furniture. The houses are abandoned or collapse by themselves. There is no sense of continuity of the type that emanates from European cities, no trace of the men who worked to create the world into which we were born.

An old colonel goes each Friday to the post office to see if his long-awaited pension has come through. He knows it will not, so does his wife who is still grieving over the death of their son the year before. The colonel has a mission: to elevate the grim routine of poverty and failure to a high mass of defiance. He does that by showing that a heart that has broken still beats with a vengeance.
En el articulo el escritor Juan Carlos Botero dice, "Me llama la atención que los críticos europeos, lo que primero destacan de los autores que estamos publicando fuera de Colombia, que son temáticas distintas y estilos tan diferentes, es que todos tenemos en común que no somos garciamarquianos. Tenemos la suficiente distancia para apreciar y reconocer todas sus virtudes y aportes a nuestra literatura y la suficiente distancia para no escribir bajo su sombra y su influencia."
Morales reviews the video recording "El gallo de oro (The Golden Cockerel), directed by Gabriel García Márquez and written by Juan Rulfo. Morales states, "Although the father of magical realism is intimately tied to the script, the story is a fairly straightforward allegory about the corruption of modern life... Despite several typos in the English subtitles, this film is highly recommended for all libraries and institutions."
Reviewing El general en su laberinto, Castañon offers that fans and readers of the book were so into the novel, distraught, tired from staying up to finish it, somber, and then went back to reread the novel as characters who were locked in stone and mud. For some, the novel was or is a tribute or a betrayal to Fidel Castro. For others, the novel was about Che Guevara, a symbolic imitation of the failed guerrilla that we all carry inside.

The author states "'El otoño del patriarca,' 'El Coronel no tiene quien le escriba,' y 'El General en su laberinto,' son muestra de una literatura que alegoriza esos 'dias de gloria' y sintetiza todo un proceso histórico a partir del relato ficcional que encubre una 'verdadera historia no contada' - sustituida como el continente mismo- y abre la posibilidad desde la perspectiva del ocaso del poder para una interpretación no explícita."

Available with subscription.||This is an editorial essay which provides some information about Gabriel García Márquez's memoirs, Vivir para contarla and includes some details provided in the book. It also states how not only is Gabriel García Márquez making his family proud, but he is also the pride of Colombia, of those who speak his same language, of those who also share the same kind of job. Vivir para contarla is not only the life of Gabriel García Márquez, but also the story, an allegory of the Colombia full of violence, magic, solitude, austerity, horror, creative spirit, and ghosts.
García Usta states that even though Cartagena was where one of the fundamental periods in the literary and journalistic formation of Gabriel García Márquez, and even though Cartagena is the second most important stage -- real, fictional, or multipurpose-- after Macondo, it has been subtly disdained by the most divulged interpretation of his literary genesis.

Carlos Fuentes studies the basis and implications of the written novel. Briefly mentions that he shares the same chore as a novelist as García Márquez.
In this article the author is comparing Mexican politics with the town in Gabriel García Márquez's book "One Hundred Years of Solitude," Macondo. She states "Y como escribe Gabriel García Márquez en Cien años de soledad, notar la diferencia entre la gente allí puede ser dificil porque tienen rasgos similares, facciones parecidas, hábitos idénticos. No defienden ideales, sino intereses; no colaboran con las mejores mentes, sino con los peores depredadores; no combaten la corrupción, porque se valen de ella."
Cabañas Bravo examines the representation of violence in three Colombian narrative works: La virgen de los Sicarios (1994) by Fernando Vallejo, Noticia de un secuestro (1996) by Gabriel García Márquez, and Rosario Tijeras (1999) by Jorge Franco Ramos. Precisely, the hitman figure becomes an allegoric figure, through which the complexities of the issue of violence in society are explored. These narrative works recompose the contradictions, hypocrisies and tricks of the moral and social codes of Colombia, as well as offering new interpretations of the hitman as a symptom of deeper sociopolitical issues. This literature demythifies the causes of violence, deconstructing the myths created by the elite class.

This article views Gabriel Garcia Marquez's (1972) "La increible y triste historia de la cándida Erendira y su abuela desalmada (The Incredible and Sad Tale of Innocent Erendira and her Heartless Grandmother)" as not simply rhetoric but a portrait of the human experience of power. The story, style, structure, and social geographical context of the book are contrasted with those of other works by García Márquez. The psychology of the grandmother in the books is tied to that of the mythical dictator in El otoño del patriarca (The Autumn of the Patriarch; the author modeled this personality type on numerous Latin American and historical dictators, with parts drawn from Shakespeare and Italian neorealist films. Religious, sexual, and material symbols of power in the story are discussed.

Secondly, I will present an outline focusing on Colombian literature, still in process, from two novels, Pax by José María Rivas Groot y Lorenzo Marroquín, and One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez.

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."
