Notes:
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

Abril writes, "El 'XX Congreso Nacional de Literatura, Lingüística y Semiótica' eligió a Gabriel García Márquez, Premio Nobel de Literatura y uno de los más destacados escritores colombianos, para rendirle homenaje, al cumplir setenta años de vida y treinta años de la publicación de Cien años de soledad." The article discusses his influence on Latin American literature.
"Ahora que el realismo mágico es un capítulo de la historia de la literatura hispanoamericana, 'Cien años de soledad' revela su capacidad inagotada para tolerar y aun proponer nuevas significaciones, y entre ellas merece atención la que cabe relacionar con García Márquez y con su necesidad de dejar testimonio de su infacia, trascurrida en una casa grande y muy triste, con una hermana que comía tierra, una abuela que adivinaba el porvenir, un abuelo que evocaba recuerdos incesantes de una interminable guerra civil y numerosos parientes de nombres iguales que nunca alcanzaron a percibir claramente los límites que seraraban la demencia y la felicidad."

With 2,000 books, mostly novels, some donated by the Cultural Economic Fund, the first Latin American library in Canada opened in Quebec about a month ago. It was baptized with the name of the Colombian Nobel prize winner, Gabriel García Márquez.
"It was heartening, then, to read the next day of the new Gabriel García Márquez novel, Memories of My Melancholy Whores, which has just gone on sale in the Hispanophone world. García Márquez is 76 and unwell, but his book seems to be about sex,love and age, not age, death and funerals. Its principal character is a retired journalist, just turning 90, who decides to mark his birthday by sleeping with a 14-year old virgin prostitute (the book is set in Colombia in the 1950s, putting plenty of cultural distance between us and the uncomfortable morality of that time and place)."

"In the recently published first volume of his memoirs, Living to Tell the Tale, Gabriel García Márquez makes it clear right from the beginning that his autobiography won't just be about what really happened. His memory of events is in various places irreconcilable with "the facts." It is an old magical realist's dream of the past, not an attempt at historical recovery. Memories of My Melancholy Whores is a short novel, a novella really, written in much the same spirit."

Viewed on 24 January, 2008.|"Two familiar figures in the novels of Colombian national treasure Gabriel García Márquez are the police chief and the mayor. And it has been a busy time for the real-life version of the characters in Colombia. Colombia's chief of police, General Teodoro Campo, has just resigned along with four other senior officers after revelations that they had been using an account meant for payments to informants to fund three years of lavish dinner parties, whiskey, and expensive chocolates. Echoes of García Márquez are everywhere in Cali. In one of his earlier books, An Evil Hour, someone keeps leaving notes bearing malicious gossip outside the doors of the inhabitants of a Colombian town. Though the book was published in 1968, the wicked habit its author described is still alive and well."

"This article represents an "analysis" and "interpretation" (Kayser) of García Márquez, particularly of his most famous novel. The psychosemantics in the title already reveals the power of myth, displayed in the archetype (Jung) of Macondo, Úrsula, of Time, etc. The perspective applied to the novel includes and integrates psychohistorical, psychomythological and ethnopsychological dimensions, clearly in the vanguard of contemporary psychology. This interpretation not only appeals to Freud and Jung, but also to the psychological and social sciences of the Latin America of today." -Abstract at the end of article

"Bercht en 'Los negocios del señor Junio César' nos decía que los grandes hombres se han esforzado siempre por ocultar el verdadero móvil de sus actos. Sin lugar a dudas, Julio César era un gran hombre, y quizás por esta razón García Márquez habría de afirmar que aprendió mucho de él, esto es, que aprehendió los modos de actuación que adoptó su fascinante delirio de dictador. García Márquez hubiera quierido crear un personaje como el Julio César en la literatura (1), pero Roma no es el Caribe y sus dictafores no son [grandes hombres]. Lo único que permanece invariable en ambos casos es el enigma del poder, su delirio. Entonces, la pregunta se precipita: por quéno se cuentan siempre las mismas historias del mismo modo?"

"Even so, we have not had Marquez's life like this before. It's the first of three planned volumes and while the narrative, putatively, ends with him about to marry his wife Mercedes four decades ago, it freely plucks, as needed, fruits from the whole blooming tree of his life. Though, it should surprise no one that it is beautifully - yes, perhaps even magically-- written from page to page, no one has the right to assume a translation as fine as Edith Grossman's turns out to be." -Editor's Choice

Clark writes about censorship in the twentieth century.

Prominent writers, including Gabriel García Márquez had been involved in this issue.
Clark writes: "In November 1982, U.S. president Ronald Reagan was taken aback by Colombian president Belisario Betancourt's charge that the United States was consistently denying admission to his country's most prominent citizen. 'But you are welcome to the States at any time,' Reagan responded, to which Betancourt retorted, 'I don't mean myself. I mean Gabriel García Márquez. You and I will both be out of power in a few years; writers like him outlive us all.'"
