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."

Notes:
"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

"Because of an editing error, a review of Living to Tell the Tale, a memoir by Gabriel García Márquez, page 8 of the Book Review today wrongly states the year of the author's birth in some copies. It was 1927, as he has recently acknowledged, not 1928, as it appears in many reference works and on Web sites."

Notes:
"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."

"You wouldn't expect the autobiography of Nobel Prize-winner Gabriel García Márquez to be just another life story. After all, this is the fellow who made magic realism into a literary brand. You know he has tricks up his sleeve... This isn't going to be just the facts. Living to Tell the Tale is a life reconstructed in the imagination." -Good

Well-known authors dominated the fiction charts back then, as they do now, but, of course, the names are different. How-to and current events are perennially among the most popular nonfiction high rollers. What has changed dramatically is the unit sales required to be among our annual bestsellers, and the cost of hardcover books."
