...alarming fact you'll learn from songstress SHAKIRA'S new DVD documentary, Shakira Live and Off the Record, is that belly dancing causes tendinitis. Another is that she's chummy with Nobel-prizewinning novelist and fellow Colombian GABRIEL GARCIA MARQUEZ, who, in the film, visits Shakira backstage in Mexico City, where he lives. In the movie Shakira describes the author as "one of those people who will never die, for sure not in my heart." The two met in 1999 when Garcia Marquez interviewed Shakira for a magazine, a planned one-hour chat that lasted five. Comparing navel rings perhaps...

...common is that just about every profile is a carefully constructed artifice, a kind of pixelated Platonic ideal of our messy, all-too organic real-life selves who don’t have perfect hair and don’t spend their weekends snuggling up with the latest Garcia Marquez. There’s little wonder why Harvard students, in particular, find the opportunity to fashion an online persona such a tantalizing prospect. Most of us spent our high school careers building resumes so padded they’d hold their own in a sumo match, an experience which culminated...

Vladimir Nabokov, John Cheever, John Updike, Irwin Shaw, William Styron, Gabriel Garcia Marquez and such cartoonists as Dedini, Barsotti, Kliban: they could be the front table at a New Yorker banquet. Skeptics suspected that Hefner got the second-best from the best, or work the New Yorker had rejected, and that Playboy settled for B material from the A team in order to appropriate their literary celebrity. Some folks in publishing had a dismissive term for Playboy fiction: ?shit from names...

...Garcia Marquez, 75, who has been fighting lymphatic cancer since 1999, intends this book to be the first of three volumes. It ends with him as a journalist, just 27 years old, flying to cover a summit meeting in Geneva and writing a love letter to his future wife. By that time we have seen him grow up, mostly in the small town of Aracataca, on the Caribbean coast of Colombia. For his first eight years, he saw little of his parents, whom he will reimagine years later as the thwarted couple in Love in the Time of Cholera...

...early schooling, his sexual initiation and maybe a few too many of his schoolmates--Garcia Marquez sets them all down. Eventually he travels to Bogota to pursue studies in law. But it's too late. His passion for words overtakes him. So does the bloody history of his country. By the book's end, he is becoming the man whose gifts will subdue that history and turn its pain into even further magic...
