Zuluaga Osorio states that because there is so much written about Gabriel García Márquez already, there is a need to present a reduced bibliography that points to opening new possibilities and not reduce perspectives. According to the author, the included bibliography, with a little over fifty titles, is excessive because the purpose of it is to orient and nothing more.

René Prieto reviews Body of Writing, reflecting on the desiring body as figured and inscribed in the works of some of Spanish America's most famous writers, including Julio Cortázar and Gabriel García Márquez. "Through a masterful deployment of psychoanalytic and feminist theory as well as a pertinent examination of authors' autobiography and psychology, he convincingly reveals what is at stake in some of the most enigmatic aspects of these authors' texts. His book is to be recommended with enthusiasm," states Prieto.
