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 GarcÍa MÁrquez in a new way, one that bypasses the traditional, inadequate approaches through Latin American politics, history, and \"magical realism.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e In \u003ci\u003eGabriel GarcÍa MÁrquez and the Powers of Fiction\u003c\/i\u003e, noted scholars Julio Ortega, Ricardo GutiÉrrez Mouat, Michael Palencia-Roth, AnÍbal GonzÁlez, and Gonzalo DÍaz-Migoyo offer English-speaking readers a new approach to GarcÍa MÁrquez's work.
