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 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.

"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."

Viewed on 24 January, 2008.||"The idea for the film school occurred to García 17 years ago. As he saw it, what the continent desperately needed was a "factory of creative energy" where talented people from all over the world would feed off each other. Colombian writer Gabriel García Márquez has a house in Havana, and when García turned up to suggest the idea, Castro happened to be there. That same evening, the plan was agreed. I wondered how a novelist and an ex-guerrilla leader came to get so excited about building a film school. "I think they are both frustrated film-makers," grins García."

How-to and current events are perennially among the most popular nonfiction high rollers.

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."

With this the author continues to describe the good things that are never really mentioned about Colombia, amongst which he mentions the literature and Gabriel García Márquez.
