In response, García Márquez has said that he agrees that sometimes inspiration comes not from books but music. However, according to Carlos Fuentes, García Márquez has achieved one of the greatest features of modern fiction. That is the release time, through the release of an instant from the moment that allows the individual to recreate yourself and your time. Nevertheless, nobody can deny that García Márquez has helped rejuvenate, reformulate, and recontextualize literature and criticism in Colombia and elsewhere in Latin America.
