    "He had always been the most disciplined of writers, sitting early in the morning before his trusty Macintosh, the magical, poetic words that have defined Latin America spilling from his head. That part never changed. But then Gabriel García Márquez, the 1982 Nobel laureate from Colombia and the foremost author in Latin America, learned in 1999 that he had lymphatic cancer."

    Notes:
    Commenting on the newest generation of novelists from Colombia, Forero states that Jorge Franco's two latest novels contain no hint of magical realism, the style of outlandish imagery that Mr. García Márquez made famous. Instead, Franco deals with a female assassin in a drug-fueled world in Rosario Tijeras, and the struggles of Colombian immigrants in New York in Paraiso Travel. The basis of this article is how the new wave of Latin American authors have strayed away from the style of García Márquez and formed a new wave. "The long shadow of Gabriel García Márquez has begun to fade."
