This paper aims at reading Gabriel Garcia Márquez’s Chronicle of a Death Foretold (1981) in the light of Mikhail Bakhtin’s theory of voice, especially the concept of “Polyphony”. The main argument is that polyphony is an important key concept to take into consideration to better comprehend the interrelationships of voices between the narrator and the other characters in this novel. In order to prove this argument, the researchers emphasize language and speech diversity in order to shed light on “Heteroglossia”, which is another related concept coined by Bakhtin. The researchers will also examine the characteristics of the double-voicedness and the manifestations of polyphony in the novel. The results show that Gabriel Garcia Márquez’s Chronicle of a Death Foretold can be described as a polyphonic novel because of the variety of consciousnesses and independent voices of its various characters. Eventually, the paper shows how the novel demonstrates heteroglot features because of the different characters who are coming from different social groups, which will help the reader to better realize the different layers of social voices.

In more than a half century of writing fiction, Colombian Nobel Laureate Gabriel García Márquez has crafted his share of fairy tales, but the story of Sleeping Beauty, or Briar Rose, seems to hold special meaning for him. Allusions to this fairy tale have appeared in several of his works, but García Márquez does more than just allude to Sleeping Beauty. He gives readers new incarnations of Briar Rose, reimagining her as a dead Caribbean dictator, a beautiful woman asleep on an airplane, and an adolescent girl christened Delgadina by the nonagenarian who falls in love with her. García Márquez's depictions of Briar Rose get progressively more ludicrous, as he mocks humanity's unhealthy romantic obsessions and our almost desperate need to believe in “happily ever after.” García Márquez distorts the Sleeping Beauty archetype to show how absurd and even dangerous it is, challenging readers to re-examine their own romantic fantasies.

KEYWORDS: Garcia Marquez, Latin American literature, journalism, smuggling, shipwreck This essay explores how Gabriel Garcia Marquez's The Story of a Shipwrecked Sailor challenges and subverts an accepted convention of journalism--its assumed opposition to fiction--but simultaneously undertakes an operation of dissimulation in order to appear to abide by this norm. The original 1955 reportage is supposedly a transcription of conversations with a sailor who survived a shipwreck, when it is actually a fiction of factual representation. The 1970 book version included a paratext in which Garcia Marquez tries to defictionalize the story and emphasize the interviewee's narrative power, when in fact none of the sentences in the text were literally from the sailor. Here, Garcia Marquez engages in a literary experiment I call \"literary smuggling,\" whereby he plays with fictional elements, tonalities, and nuances.

Calling upon Cuban Severo Sarduy's neo-Baroque figure of the ellipse, this article considers similarities between John Coltrane's jazz recomposition of \"My Favorite Things\" (1960) and Gabriel Garcia Marquez's novel One Hundred Years of Solitude (1967). Both are approached as ellipses, dually centered and liberated from the singular centrisms of then-recent works, Coltrane's \"Giant Steps\" (1967) and Garcia Marquez's \"The Third Resignation\" (1947). Unlike those circular or linear works, these achieve a floating, fantastic time, barely tethered to pre-determined forces and immensely appealing to mass audiences. It was a moment for ellipses in the arts, works achieving a fantastical sense of time, only obliquely responding to historical forces. After these works, the arts at large, and these artists in particular, would leave ellipses and mass appeal behind with more forward-thinking works such as Coltrane's Interstellar Space (1967) and Garcia Marquez's The Autumn of the Patriarch (1975).

Establishing an intertextual relation between Restrepo’s novel and García Márquez’s story, this paper examines how Restrepo’s paired commitment to socio-political relevance and to broad legibility shapes her novel’s engagement with the legacy of magic realism and with discursive, especially novelistic, conventions more generally. A comparative analysis of thematic and formal features highlights how this commitment molds Dulce compañía’s recapitulation of the theme of the angel of flesh and blood within an updated, urban context, and in a commercially successful novel with an international readership. Focusing on narrative and figurative, especially allegorical, discourses, I consider that while the angel allegory in “Un señor muy viejo” is used to excavate literary-rhetorical issues of representation (as argued by Carlos Rincón), in Dulce compañía it is oriented towards the preservative revelation of popular forms of belief that emerge from the lived experience of violence and abandonment.
