| | | Publisher | | | | | Publication place | | Urbana, IL | | | Publication year | | 2002 | | | Page | | 61-64 | | | Volume | | | | | Issue | | 23-24 | | | Notes | | It will not be of much surprise that Colombia, one of the most dangerous countries in the world, according to Gabriel García Márquez, finds itself in first place with a total of 972 kidnappings. Just as in the case of Gabriel García Márquez's News of a Kidnapping, the kidnappings are located in a gray area between politics and criminality, often being difficult to decide in which one it is classified, or if it's in both. | | | URL | | | |

| | | Publisher | | Universidad del Valle | | | Publication place | | Cali, Colombia | | | Publication year | | June, 2003 | | | Page | | 93-114 | | | Volume | | | | | Issue | | 19 | | | Notes | | "A multicultural and pluriethnic country like Colombia, composed of regions so varied and governed by a political-administrative system so centralized and which needs such substantial changes, requires a history of its literature concomitant with its nature and the cultural processes that are occurring here. As a symbolic meditation on a society and as an expression of its individual and collective realities, literature plays a determining role in the configuration of our identities. To advocate this will better equip us to enter into a dialogue with all the cultures of this planet, an option that is today possible thanks to the communication revolution which has made a reality of the global village spoken by McLuhan." | | | URL | | | |

In November 2000, Paternostro landed in Barranquilla from New York. Her mission was not to write the counterpart of Gabriel García Márquez's memoirs, but to reconstruct Gabriel García Márquez's life by a rich American magazine, that probably didn't know that Gabriel García Márquez himself was writing his memoirs. This extensive article narrates the story and findings of Paternostro while in Colombia. | | | URL | | http://www.parisreview.com/viewissue.php/prmIID/166 | |

Autobiography is central to García Márquez's fiction, and I was curious how the people (many of whom make appearances in his work) who knew Gabriel García Márquez as a young man would remember him." -Silvana Paternostro | | | URL | | http://www.parisreview.com/viewissue.php/prmIID/166 | |

| | | Title | | "The Use of Magic Realism in Gabriel García Márquez
| | | Publisher | | | | | Publication place | | Mendoza, Argentina | | | Publication year | | 1997 | | | Page | | 33-38 | | | Volume | | | | | Issue | | 14 | | | Notes | | "The majority of Gabriel García Márquez's novels and short stories are characterized by the unique coexistence of real and magical features. The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World is no exception. The author reveals through the main character's unexpected appearance on the scene, his giant-like traits, so reminiscent of Johnathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels, and his deistically heroic behavior, the magical elements of this short story that remind us of the tales of our childhood. And yet, the very setting in place, the description of the typically Latin American villager's behaviour and the distressing sorrow caused by the protagonist's death, make this masterfully-written literary work as realistic as any other short story in the realistic movement. García Márquez's literary achievement lies precisely in his ability to fuse such divergent characteristics inherent in the magical and realistic movements." | | | URL | | | |
