Gabriel García Márquez
Colombia
- Where in Bolaño
- Absent from the novels; the same interview joke, and the satirical speech "Los mitos de Cthulhu" in Between Parentheses
- Why read them
- The other president-collector of the joke. "Los mitos de Cthulhu" ridicules the industry of magical-realist imitation that García Márquez's success spawned — Bolaño's real target — while the man himself is treated as talent captured by power. His entire fictional Latin America is built against macondismo.
