Notes:
This article mentions details of Gabriel García Márquez's memoirs, beginning with the initial scene of García Márquez going to Aracataca with his mother to sell the house of his grandparents where he was born. Memoirs and autobiographies have this common zone in the memory which allows us to forget, rewrite, and invent. In the case of García Márquez, the richness of his life has been reflected in the worlds he creates in his novels. It's the gaze of the Colombian writer toward his life, toward the people related to him, that appears in his autobiography and delights the reader with how his stories and novels occur. He also does self-analysis in his book.
