Viewed on 24 January, 2008.||"La vida no es la que uno vivió, sino la que recuerda y cómo la recuerda para contarla" (Life is not what one lived, but how one remembers, and how one tells the tale). This is how Gabriel García Márquez begins the first volume of his memoirs, Vivir para contarla, whose world premiere is the 9th of October in Barcelona, Bogotá, Buenos Aires, and Mexico City. Meanwhile, Alvaro Mutis, friend of the Colombian Nobel, and one of the few people that has read the manuscript, has no doubt in his mind that he has "read a classic."

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.
