Aizenberg studies the Latin American narrative and issues reflecting the "boom" era, but focuses on Latin American writings before the 1960's phenomena.
"In the land where Nobel laureate Gabriel García Márquez's magical realism reigns, there has always been a blurry line between reality and fiction. So it was hardly surprising when the fantastical case of 144 Colombian army soldiers who found and pocketed at least $16 million in guerrilla stash went to the big screen this month in the same week that 53 of those soldiers were sentenced by military tribunal. The rest are on the run."

"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
"WORLD LITERATURE TODAY presents a special section of the current issue devoted to Polish poet, critic, and fiction writer Adam Zagajewski, recipient of the 2004 Neustadt International Prize for Literature." The article mentions that only two countries have received the award more than once,one of which is Columbia with Gabriel García Márquez.
Clark writes about censorship in the twentieth century. He states that "in the United States, the government-sanctioned ban of prominent foreign writers, artists, and personalities under the McCarran-Walter Act of 1952" has caused great concern for multiple parties involved. 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.'"
The Editor's Note in World Literature Today discusses short-story writer and journalist, Nélida Piñon. The article mentions her success as a female Brazilian author and her numerous awards. It further states that "she was also the first woman selected for the University of Guadalajara’s Cátedra Julio Cortázar, a distinguished professorship established by Fuentes and Gabriel García Márquez that honors some of the world’s most distinguished writers, artists, politicians, and intellectuals."

3) Spanish and other European immigrants that were encouraged to settle in Cuba as per attempts to "bleach" the island. This was the first time anything like this was seriously proposed since Haiti earned its independence. This is important to note because the "spectre" of Haiti loomed ominously over Spanish and Cuban whites for a century and most of their policies towards Cuba's Blacks were reflective of it. The following year, the Cuban Ward Connerly of his day, Martin Morúa Delgado was elected Speaker in Cuba's Senate. The year after that, Morúa introduced legislation that became known as the Morúa Amendment and it outlaws the PIC because is was based on race and racism was supposedly eradicated in Cuba. Just before the vote was taken to enact this bill into law, Estonez and other PIC leaders were imprisoned and were kept in jail until after the law was passed.

Commenting on the sanctity of the family, the president delivers a clear message in the song, "Pap Divoce," for which his cabinet has already delivered an entertaining video. [Mickey] has taken note of the disposition of the nation's young in regard to Haiti's current state and delivered a very club friendly response in the melodious "Non, non, non". Presidential advisor Wyclef Jean makes a bullet-riddled entrance in "Men nou" that should have dedicated supporters either rushing for shelter or the nearest ballot box.

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.

Notes:
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."
