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\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. Their poststructuralist readings focus on the peculiar sign-system, formal configuration, intradiscursivity, and unfolding representation in the novels \u003ci\u003eOne Hundred Years of Solitude\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eNo One Writes to the Colonel\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eIn Evil Hour\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Autumn of the Patriarch\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eChronicle of a Death Foretold\u003c\/i\u003e and in several of the author's short stories.
