"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

"The Booker Prize, under fire for concentrating on fashionable and quirky writers, will attempt to regain its reputation for high seriousness with the launch of the "super Booker," a worldwide search for the living greats of fiction... The Independent understands that the reading list for the inaugural international prize - compiled at a recent secret meeting in Rome - already includes V.S. Naipul, the 2001 Nobel prize-winner from Trinidad; Margaret Atwood, the Canadian who won the Booker in 2000; John Updike, the Pulitzer prize-winner; Gabriel García Márquez, the master of magic realism; and Philip Roth, whose collected works are soon to appear in a Library of America edition."

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.
