| | | Title | | "Magical Realism:
| | | Publisher | | African-American and Afro-American Studies and Research Center, University of Texas | | | Publication place | | Austin, TX | | | Publication year | | Spring 2006 | | | Page | | 28 | | | Volume | | 37 | | | Issue | | 1 | | | Notes | | The author engages García Márquez and his work in her discussion of magical realism. The abstract reads as follows: "Congolese novelist Sony Labou Tansi has been widely celebrated as a leader in the revival of francophone African letters that took place in the 1980's. In the process, commentators have repeatedly insisted on affiliating him with the tradition of magical realism. Using his first novel, "La vie et demie" [Life and a Half], as a case study, this essay argues that this exclusive focus on magical realism at the expense of other, perhaps more significant, literary traditions (such as science fiction) continues to be a problematic misreading of the novel. Ultimately, this conceptualization of Tansi's literary output once again reduces the African writer to a conduit for endless reiterations of a reified irrationality- precisely the role that Labou Tansi, by introducing science fiction into his narrative, seeks to escape." | | | URL | | | |

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." | | | URL | | | |

| | | Publisher | | Empresa Editora Careta S.A. | | | Publication place | | Lima, Peru | | | Publication year | | October, 2004 | | | Page | | 66-67 (print edition) | | | Volume | | | | | Issue | | 1845 | | | Notes | | Viewed on 29 January, 2008.||Last year Gabriel García Márquez published Vivir para contarla, a best seller that broke all sales records in Peru. With his new novel, Memoria de mis putas tristes, he is expected to have a similar sales outcome, despite the bootlegging controversy surrounding this novel. The edition printed in Peru is very peculiar: it's cheaper, it's hardcover, and it has textual differences in relation to other volumes distributed in Latin America. The Peruvian edition was printed before García Márquez submitted his last corrections. | | | URL | | http://www.caretas.com.pe/2004/1845/articulos/marquez.html | |
