| | | Title | | "A Vatican for film-makers," The Guardian
| | | Publisher | | The Guardian Newspaper Limited | | | Publication place | | Manchester, England | | | Publication year | | November, 2003 | | | Page | | | | | Volume | | | | | Issue | | | | | Notes | | Viewed on 24 January, 2008.||"The idea for the film school occurred to García 17 years ago. As he saw it, what the continent desperately needed was a "factory of creative energy" where talented people from all over the world would feed off each other. Colombian writer Gabriel García Márquez has a house in Havana, and when García turned up to suggest the idea, Castro happened to be there. That same evening, the plan was agreed. I wondered how a novelist and an ex-guerrilla leader came to get so excited about building a film school. "I think they are both frustrated film-makers," grins García." | | | URL | | http://www.guardian.co.uk/arts/fridayreview/story/0,12102,1094350,00.html | |

| | | Publisher | | Times Publishing Company | | | Publication place | | St. Petersburg, FL | | | Publication year | | November, 2003 | | | Page | | 4P | | | Volume | | | | | Issue | | | | | Notes | | "This corruption of the famous opening sentence of García Márquez's classic One Hundred Years of Solitude risks cheapening one of the most elegant and hypnotic passages of modern literature. Its only defense is its truth. If there is one lesson to be gleaned from García Márquez's engrossing memoir, Living to Tell the Tale, it is that the author who single-handedly defined the genre of "magic realism" drew some of his most memorable and fantastic tales from the rich history of his family and native Colombia." | | | URL | | | |

| | | Title | | "Anotaciones para un estudio de la novela de la violencia en Colombia," Polígramas
| | | Publisher | | Universidad del Valle | | | Publication place | | Cali, Colombia | | | Publication year | | June, 2003 | | | Page | | 127-142 | | | Volume | | | | | Issue | | 19 | | | Notes | | "The Violence (1946-1965) was the first arena of generalized violence in Colombia this century. This phenomenon left the terrifying memory of its more than two hundred thousand deaths, together with a country ruined politically and morally. The writers (novels and consecrates) left evidence of this in an enormous body of work that has been, in large part, negatively sanctioned and, in general, poorly researched. To construct a dispassionate critical judgment and a rigorous study of this literature it is necessary, in principal, to outline some criteria that will permit a clear delineation of the corpus of novels that integrate it."||To sustain his argument, Osorio brings up García Márquez's statement, "La literatura colombiana, un fraude a la nación" where he states that since colonial times, the Colombian literature has had at most three or four literary writers and has been encumbered with false prestige. Furthermore, he states that during the 50s no literary tradition or national literature existed; however, since the 50s there has been a surge in literary novels about the violence, among them, García Márquez's, Mejía Vallejo's, and Álvarez Gardeazábal's. | | | URL | | | |
