"Some of the most interesting and never realized proposals of literary historiography in the last fifty years gain validity when they propose to assume the history of literature as provocation, where they establish a real dialogue of periods, where they revise, question and destroy the traditional canons. This means realizing new cuts, selections, and proposals to approach Colombian literature from a historical proposal that relies on a fruitful discussion by the academic community." Pöpel analyzes the transition of magical realism from its beginnings by García Márquez, as a Colombian novel of violence to its transitions in the latter part of the century as a narrative of drug trafficking and new violence.

The author discusses the ways in which the traditional Latin American novel is a baroque text. He uses García Márquez's Cien años de soledad as an example.
"Memorias de mis putas tristes se refiere a un anciano que recuerda a sus mujeres y es el regreso de García Márquez, de 77 años de edad, a la ficción, pues hacia cerca de 10 años que no frequentaba ese género. La nueva novela, que aparecerá en alemán aproximadamente en diciembre próximo, de acuerdo con un portavoz de la editorial Kiepenheuer & Witsch, rinde tributo al escritor japonés Yasumari Kawabata (1899-1972), premio Nóbel de Literatura en 1968, quien también exploró en su obra, con melancolía, la trascendencia del sexo en la vejez. Gabriel García Márquez usa recuerdos de su abuelo Nicolás, quien le relataba historias de prostitutas y resucita la memoria de mujeres que conoció en su juventud en el burdel El Molino Rojo, de Barrnquilla."
"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."

Includes everything until the year 1955.
"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."

Viewed on 28 January, 2008.||Series of small articles by the same author on how García Márquez's new novel, Memoria de mis putas tristes, has caused controversy with its bootlegging and delayed date for sale.
This essay discusses Gabriel García Márquez's first volume of his memoirs, Vivir para contarla, and goes into deeper analysis of what constitutes a memoir. The author also discusses Gabriel García Márquez's genius at keeping the reader hooked onto his book.
The author reviews Daniel Alarcón's first novel, "Lost City Radio" and states: "Alarcón may share with Allende and García Márquez a desire to make sense of his native country's past, but like Iñarritu and Cuarón, his use of saturated imagery and unconventional narratives reflects the paradoxes of 21st century Latin America - a place where deep, traditional cultures collide with desperate poverty and the tremors of globalism to produce stories that are violent, unsettling and vividly graphic."
"Communities of people have different ways of explaining the world around them and events that occur to them, and these codes for interpreting reality can clash when brought into contact with each other. Latin American writers and scholars have often said that such a clash produces the atmosphere we have come to label magical realist in literature; construing the theory in quite territorial terms, they have claimed that the specific circumstances of Latin America have produced magical realism. In this essay, I explore the use if magical realism in a famous episode from García Márquez's 'Cien años de soledad'. The instance of the insomnia plague has fascinated readers and has attracted various interpretations from academics; these have usually been centered around cultural readings. I explore the passage from three distinct perspectives, cultural, historical and literary. García Márquez's 'Cien años de soledad' is a work rich in historical and literary sources, and in order to help determine the impact of political and cultural happenings upon his work, I have also referred extensively to García Márquez's recently published memoirs, which have enabled me to make reasoned judgments about the different spheres of influence upon García Márquez's work."

"Literary powerhouse Gabriel García Márquez is at the height of his powers in Living to Tell the Tale, the first in a projected autobiographical trilogy. The volume ends in the 1950s, when he was in his early 30s, set to test whether he could succeed as a writer and be "one of the great ones." A Montreal Gazette reviewer wrote that readers will relish the chance to "sift the Colombian author's life for the seeds of his magic realism, and the master doesn't disappoint.""
"Tracing his personal history through the 1950s, Márquez applies the same skill and lyricism he demonstrates in his fiction to the genre of autobiography. The first in a series of three volumes chronicling his remarkable career, Living to Tell the Tale is a fluid, fascinating account of the Nobel Laureate's upbringing in Colombia and his development as a writer."
"The first in the trilogy of the Columbian Nobel Laureate's memoirs spans 28 years, from his parents' courtship and marriage through his birth in 1927... to his early career as a journalist."

"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)

"Many foreigners only know a thing or two about Colombia: the country that produces cocaine and coffee. The country in which a civil strife exists. This is what is read and heard in the media day to day, but Colombia is a complex and amazing country that many times is perceived with stereotypes and prejudice." With this the author continues to describe the good things that are never really mentioned about Colombia, amongst which he mentions the literature and Gabriel García Márquez.
Dabove says that García Márquez seems to be doing his own "critique of practical reasoning" with his "grouping" and his "evaluation." Nonetheless, to recognize La mala hora as a narrative project with capabilities of appeal, the author proposes to read it with Frederic Jameson's notion of "national allegory." With these purposes, Dabove continues his analysis.
In all of the works of the famous Colombian author, Gabriel García Márquez, the theme of dreams is of outstanding importance in participating in magical realism. This article analyzes the use of dreams in the stories in Doce cuentos peregrinos.
