...fictional Buendia, Marulanda died of natural causes in old age as an enigma. In Garcia Marquez's classic, a character wonders if the colonel "had fought so many wars not out of idealism, as everyone had thought," but rather if "he had won and lost for the same reason, pure and sinful pride...
...communist country where the press is controlled by the state. Over the past year, Chien was repeatedly questioned about his sources by police "who twisted his reports," the paper said. "(Chien) was not motivated by any personal motive or interest," the paper said. "His motive was completely pure."

Sure, the setups are formulaic (ironically, Frey makes fun of Hollywood's cookie-cutter plots, while his aren't much better), but the details are pure over-the-top pulp, and they go by so fast you don't have time to roll your eyes. Frey has a history of having a little too much fun with facts, among other controlled substances. As a writer of fiction, he may finally have found a job where that...
