«Cada novela es un deicidio secreto, un asesinato simbólico de la realidad.»

Publicado a comienzos de la década de los setenta y desaparecido de las librerías desde hace muchos años, este ensayo, que en su origen fue la tesis que le valió a Vargas Llosa en 1971 el título de doctor por la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, muestra la admiración del Nobel peruano por García Márquez y por su novela Cien años de soledad. En él se analiza en profundidad la obra del autor colombiano, compañero de Vargas Llosa en el boom de la literatura latinoamericana.

«Obsesiva; recurrente, una intención central abraza la obra de García Márquez, una ambición única que sus ficciones van desarrollando a saltos y retrocesos, desde perspectivas diferentes y con métodos distintos. Este denominador común hace que sus cuentos y novelas puedan leerse como fragmentos de un vasto, disperso, pero al mismo tiempo riguroso proyecto creador, dentro del cual encuentra cada uno de ellos su plena significación. Esta voluntad unificadora es la de edificar una realidad cerrada, un mundo autónomo. »Un escritor no elige sus temas, los temas lo eligen a él.

García Márquez no decidió, mediante un movimiento libre de su conciencia, escribir ficciones a partir de sus recuerdos de Aracataca. Ocurrió lo contrario: sus experiencias de Aracataca lo eligieron a él como escritor. Un hombre no elige sus "demonios" le ocurren ciertas cosas, algunas lo hieren tanto que lo llevan, locamente, a negar la realidad y a querer reemplazarla. Esas "cosas", que están en el origen de su vocación, serán también su estímulo, sus fuentes, la materia a partir de la cual esa vocación trabajará. No se trata de reducir el arranque y el alimento de la vocación a una experiencia única. Pero en el caso de García Márquez la naturaleza de su obra permite afirmar que aquella experiencia, sin negar la importancia de otras, constituye el impulso principal para su tarea de creador.»

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Each novel is a secret decision, a symbolic murder of reality.'

Published at the beginning of the seventies and then disappearing from bookstores for many years, this essay, which was originally the thesis that earned Vargas Llosa a doctorate in 1971 from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, shows the admiration the Peruvian Nobel Prize winner had for García Márquez and for his novel One Hundred Years of Solitude. In it, the work of the Colombian author, Vargas Llosa's contemporary during the boom of Latin American literature, is analyzed in depth.

"Obsessive; recurring, a central intention embraces the work of García Márquez, a unique ambition that his novels develop in leaps and bounds, from different perspectives and with different methods. This common denominator means that his stories and novels can be read as fragments of a vast, dispersed, but at the same time rigorous creative project, within which, each one of them finds its full significance. This unifying will is to build a closed reality, an autonomous world." A writer does not choose his subjects, the subjects choose him.

García Márquez did not decide, through a free movement of his conscience, to write fiction based on his memories of Aracataca. The opposite happened: his experiences in Aracataca chose him as a writer. A man does not choose his "demons: " certain things happen to him, some hurt him so much that they lead him, madly, to deny reality and want to replace it. Those "things", which are at the origin of his vocation, will also be his stimulus, his sources, the material from which that vocation will work. It's not about reducing the start and nourishment of the vocation to a unique experience. But in the case of García Márquez, the nature of his work allows us to affirm that that experience, without denying the importance of others, constitutes the main impulse for the creator's task.

Great design and size for an evening bag!
This PU leather bag is perfect for dressy occasions. I love the design and the size. The closure on the front is very unique. I don't need a purse like this often, but I like to have a few basic colors on hand for when I do need one. I didn’t have a gold bag so I ordered that color to add to my evening bag collection. I really am happy with this bag and have used it a couple of times already. This bag seems to be well made and durable. I haven't noticed any issues with it so far. I prefer the top handle but I like that a shoulder strap is included, although I haven't used it yet. The front closure is such a neat design. I really like the weave design of the rest of the bag too. The size is just right for what I like to carry in an evening bag. Some bags are too small and I can't even fit my phone in them. The size of this bag accommodates my phone, a small wallet, a small pack of tissues, and my lipstick. I think the price is good for the quality. I am very glad I ordered this bag. I recommend this bag as an affordable option for a nice quality evening bag. I don't yet know how well it will hold up over time, since I haven't had the opportunity to use it much yet. However, I don't anticipate having any problems. I will update this review if I obtain more insightful information in the future.

Elegant Evening Clutch That Looks Dressy but Still Practical
I bought this gold woven clutch for a wedding and wanted something that looked dressy but could still hold my essentials. I tested it the night before the event to make sure everything fit, and it worked out better than expected. The woven gold finish looks more refined in person than in photos. It catches light nicely without being overly shiny, so it pairs well with both simple dresses and more detailed outfits. The size is slim but long enough to fit my phone, cards, keys, and a small lipstick without forcing it closed. The PU leather feels smooth and structured, so the bag keeps its shape instead of collapsing when you set it down. The frame and closure feel secure — it snaps shut cleanly and didn’t pop open while I was moving around and greeting people. I carried it through a full evening — ceremony, dinner, and standing conversations — and it stayed comfortable in hand. It’s lightweight, which helps during longer events when you don’t want a heavy bag hanging from your wrist. If I had one small note, you’ll want to keep bulky items out since it’s designed to stay sleek. Overall, it’s a stylish, event-ready clutch that adds a polished touch without being flashy or impractical.

Sleek, modern, and surprisingly spacious
I’ve been looking for a statement piece to carry for a few upcoming spring weddings, and this bright gold clutch immediately stood out with its unique woven texture. The gold is vibrant and has a lovely shimmer that isn't too overpowering, making it feel sophisticated rather than flashy. I was pleased to find that the PU leather is quite soft to the touch, and the overall construction feels solid and well-crafted. The interior space is actually much better than most evening bags I’ve used in the past. It easily fits my smartphone and essentials with room to spare, so I’m not constantly struggling to close it. Since my niece often likes to play "dress up" with my accessories, I appreciate that the material feels durable enough to handle a bit of extra attention. It also comes with a detachable strap, which is great for when I want to switch from a classic clutch to a more relaxed shoulder bag. It’s a stylish, functional piece that adds the right amount of elegance to any formal look.

A Little Gold That Goes a Long Way
I carried this clutch to a wedding where my phone felt bigger than the dinner plate, and somehow everything fit. The woven finish looks classy without screaming for attention, and the gold tone works nicely with both bold and simple outfits. It feels light in hand but not flimsy, which is always a pleasant surprise. The size is just right for essentials like a phone, keys, and lipstick, though overpackers will need restraint. The closure stayed secure all night, even after some enthusiastic dancing. It is not meant for daily use, but for special events it does its job well. Stylish, practical, and easy to carry without stress.
