Famous People: Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Lawrence Block by Dennis Sellers, dsellers@maccentral.com September 27, 1999, 7:00 am ET According to the Sept. 27 "New Yorker Magazine," Nobel Prize-winning, Columbian writer Gabriel Garcia Marquez maintains residences in Cuernavca, Mexico; Barcelona, Spain; Paris, France; Havana, Cuba; Cartagena, Columbia; and Barraquilla, Columbia. And he has an identical Mac in each one. (The model of the Mac isn't mentioned, says MacCentral reader Bob Simpson who sent this news nugget our way.) Another famous author is also a big Mac fan. Brian J. Little recently went to a small book-signing session with author Lawrence "Larry" Block in Charlotte, North Carolina. During a few minutes of conversation, Little discovered that the writer is not only a Mac user, but has a laptop G3 and a desktop PowerMac of uncertain vintage. "He did say that it's about time to replace it, so I spent a few minutes extolling the virtues of G4," says Little. Block is the author of the Bernie Rhodenbarr mysteries, as well as the Evan Tanner mysteries and the Matthew Scudder mysteries. He's also written at least two books on how to write good fiction, and has edited a number of crime-story collections. (If you've sent us an item for our Famous People column, please be patient. It will appear, but we've been swamped with entries. If you know of a famous person using the Mac, send it to Yours Truly at

Garcia Marquez - Magical Realism Essay from García marquez, definition and links to books, internet resources and papers on the topic.Category Arts Literature Latin American Magic Realism......Macondo is a comprehensive Web resource exploring the works of GabrielGarcia marquez, and this section discusses Magical Realism. http://www.themodernword.com/gabo/gabo_mr.html

The way my grandmother used to tell stories Magical Realism Like many Latin American writers, Gabriel García Márquez has been inextricably linked to a style of literature known as "magical realism." Literature of this type is usually characterized by elements of the fantastic woven into the story with a deadpan sense of presentation. The term is not without a lot of controversy, however, and has come under attack for numerous reasons. Some claim that it is a postcolonial hangover, a category used by "whites" to marginalize the fiction of the "other." Others claim that it is a passé literary trend, or just a way to cash in on the Latin Amewrican "boom." Still others feel the term is simply too limiting, and acts to remove the fiction in question from the world of serious literature. Margin , an online magazine devoted to exploring magical realism. The purpose of this page is simply to point interested readers in the direction of resources dealing with magical realism. For those who truly want to explore the subject, I suggest you click the

was born in 1928 in the small town of Aracataca, situated in a tropical region of northern Colombia, between the mountains and the Caribbean Sea. He grew up with his maternal grandparent - his grandfather was a pensioned colonel from the civil war at the beginning of the century. He went to a Jesuit college and began to read law, but his studies were soon broken off for his work as a journalist. In 1954 he was sent to Rome on an assignment for his newspaper, and since then he has mostly lived abroad - in Paris, New York, Barcelona and Mexico - in a more or less compulsory exile. Besides his large output of fiction he has written screenplays and has continued to work as a journalist. Bibliography La mala hora.

Gabriel José Garcia Márquez Gabriel García Márquez, b. March 6, 1928. Colombian novelist, journalist, publisher, and political activist. He has lived mostly in Mexico and Europe. While García Márquez is often considered the most famous of writers of magical realism, and while much of his writing has elements which are strongly associated with magical realism, García Márquez's writing is simply too diverse to be bound within categories. García Márquez got his start as a reporter for the Colombian daily El Espectador , and later worked as a foreign correspondent in Rome, Paris, Barcelona, Caracas, and New York City. His first major work was The Story of a Shipwrecked Sailor (Relato de un náufrago) , which he wrote as a newspaper series in 1955. The book told the inglorious true story of a shipwreck that had been glorified by the government. This resulted in the beginning of his foreign correspondence, as it was unsafe for him to remain in Colombia. It was later published in 1970 and taken by many to have been a novel. Several of his works have been classified as both fiction and non-fiction, notably Chronicle of a Death Foretold (Chrónica de una murete anuncida) (1981), which tells the tale of revenge killing in his hometown of Aracataca, and Love in the
