Botero's works transcend national borders and cultures, and are accessible to everyone. He has painted the loveable side of Colombia he knew as a child, and the country's political turmoil he sees now." Botero states "someday, taxi drivers of the world will say to Colombian travelers, `Oh, you're from Colombia? Isn't that the country of Nobel laureate Gabriel Garcia Marquez, the Olympic Gold Medal winner in women's weightlifting Maria Isabel Urrutia, and artist Fernando Botero?' And not mention Pablo Escobar even once." | | | URL | | | |

| | | Title | | "The Chameleon
| | | Publisher | | Florida State University | | | Publication place | | Tallahassee, FL | | | Publication year | | 2005 | | | Page | | | | | Volume | | | | | Issue | | | | | Notes | | "Drawing upon the author's experiences of growing up white and gay in apartheid South Africa, this collection of personal essays explores themes of kitsch, displacement, love, sexuality, and forgiveness. A central question posed by the work is whether virtues such as love and forgiveness are worth the cost they frequently exact. These costs include, but are not limited to, denial of the self and individual perception in order to make possible a sense of profound union with other persons. In the end the dissertation concludes that it is best to accept a level of permanent and irrevocable yearning for connection and healing which human life will never entirely fulfill." Gabriel García Márquez is mentioned in the dissertation. | | | URL | | | |

The film, based on a novel by Mr. Gabriel García Márquez, is the first major Hollywood picture produced in Cartagena since "The Mission," starring Robert De Niro, two decades ago." | | | URL | | | |
