Apparently, since Jorge Dominguez was not a U.S. born professor, he was not a real Hispanic--bringing up the disturbing possibility that about half the Spanish-speaking community in this country, including the parents of most Latino students, are not "Latino." Gabriel Garcia Marquez is not Latino. Neither is Carlos Fuentes, Rigoberta Menchu, Carlos Salinas de Gotari, Juan Carlos, Fidel Castro, or Guillermo Cabrera Infante...
...Greek, she taught Greek, literary theory and contemporary culture at the University of the Andes from 1976 to 1982. Students remember her as a brilliant scholar and a dedicated teacher. - During those years, Rosario hobnobbed with some of the region's greatest writers, among them Nobel laureate Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

Moxy Fruvous mixes things up, offering a funny song about a poor guy whose girlfriend says, "Hon drop dead, I'd rather go to bed/with Gabriel Garcia Marquez.' Cuddle up with William S.

Although he won international acclaim as a novelist, Gabriel Garcia Marquez made his publishing debut with a book of short stories, and he has never abandoned the form. Strange Pilgrims (Knopf; 188 pages; $21), his fourth collection, proves again that the author's distinctive magic realism can come in relatively small containers. But it does so with a difference. These 12 stories take place far from the vivid South American settings of his other tales and novels, including One Hundred Years of Solitude (1970) and Love in the Time of Cholera (1988). In a prologue the 1982 Nobel laureate notes...
Others convey all the enchanting density of Garcia Marquez's fiction at its best. In The Saint, a man from the Colombian Andes takes the miraculously preserved body of his daughter, dead at age seven and exhumed 11 years later to make way for a dam, to Rome to seek her canonization by the church. When the story ends, 22 years later, he is still waiting, another outsider absorbed into the rhythms of the Eternal City...
