Together with the late Jorge Luis Borges, Gabriel Garc�a M�rquez, the 1982 Nobel laureate, stands at the pinnacle of Latin American literature. His work, in the words of Julio Ortega, "contains its own 'deconstructive' force-a literary power capable of reshaping natural order and rhetorical tradition in order to 'carnivalize' the Borges' library and allow us to hear the voices-and the laughter-of a culture, that of Latin America." This reshaping force invites us to read the works of Garc�a M�rquez in a new way, one that bypasses the traditional, inadequate approaches through Latin American politics, history, and "magical realism." In Gabriel Garc�a M�rquez and the Powers of Fiction, noted scholars Julio Ortega, Ricardo Guti�rrez Mouat, Michael Palencia-Roth, An�bal Gonz�lez, and Gonzalo D�az-Migoyo offer English-speaking readers a new approach to Garc�a M�rquez's work. Their poststructuralist readings focus on the peculiar sign-system, formal configuration, intradiscursivity, and unfolding representation in the novels One Hundred Years of Solitude, No One Writes to the Colonel, In Evil Hour, The Autumn of the Patriarch, and Chronicle of a Death Foretold and in several of the author's short stories. Also included as an appendix is a translation of Garc�a M�rquez's Nobel Prize acceptance speech, "The Solitude of Latin America."
