"This article is about the role of García Márquez and particularly macondismo as an ideology in establishing the canonic validity of vallenato as a folk genre from the Colombian Caribbean. García Márquez's chronicles of the early 1950's are seen as foundational texts on the aesthetics and value of vallenato; texts which influence subsequent writings on the topic. One of the main topics explored is how these texts acquire canonic validity through the success of One Hundred Years of Solitude. It is then that macondismo - the Latin Americanist celebration of magical realism - becomes an interpretive metaphor for Colombia, and vallenato music becomes the sonorous emblem of this metaphor. This occurs through García Márquez's writings, his multiple interventions in Colombian vallenato festivals, and the way vallenato is subsequently taken by a journalistic elite of the country as representing a macondian sonorous paradigm. The article explores how these different elements coalesce in constructing a genealogy of aurality for vallenato, setting the parameters of its interpretive significance through multiple processes of folklorisation of the genre."

"Este artículo presenta un análisis de 'Relato de un náufrago', opúsculo híbrido de la primera etapa de la obra de Gabriel García Márquez, en el contexto genérico de la llamada narrativa de naufragios. Partiendo de una observación sobre el renovado interés por la literatura de naufragios, se revisan algunos ejemplos históricos de esta forma textual que hacen eco en la obra. A pesar de la presencia del naufragio como tema en la literatura e historiografía hispanoamericanos, llama la atención la ausencia de un género específico para su representación narrativa, algo que sí se da en la tradición portuguesa. Es la tesis del presente trabajo que 'Relato de un naufrago' representa una reinvención de la narrativa de naufragios para las letras hispanoamericanas, poníendola a la vez al tanto con el contexto político y literario del siglo XX."

Notes:
In his review Townley states that, "His long awaited memoir, Living to Tell the Tale, the first in a planned autobiographical trilogy, is a richly imagined volume, brimming with lush description and historical immediacy. And if the author has, over the course of his seventy-five magical years, succumbed to those ineluctable lapses in memory, we're certainly none the wiser. And it wouldn't matter anyway: as García Márquez writes in the book's epigraph, "Life is not what one lived, but what one remembers and how one remembers it in order to recount it."" Townley also states that, "unlike many contemporary autobiographies, this one does not indulge in postmodern fripperies. Instead, García Márquez offers a "traditional" memoir: one recounted through the first person in the past tense, in a voice both warm and conversational."
Read discusses Bucheli's Bananas and Business and the negative reputation the United Fruit Company has. He states that "This interpretation came early to Colombian critics after a 1928 massacre of striking workers left hundreds, maybe thousands, dead. Gabriel García Márquez exaggerated the details of this violence for One Hundred Years of Solitude, and few others have believed the company did more good than harm."
