1955: I Became a Literary Giant in Latin America

García Márquez: "Am I the founder of "magical realism"? No, Leo is the master of "magical reality"." Fidel Castro: "Although Leo Lautaro Suarez criticized our cause in Cuba, his works demonstrate the truth: there is no winner, only the people!" Vargas Llosa: "If Leo does not win the Nobel Prize for Literature, I will die with my eyes closed!" Alejo Carpentier: "The works of Leo, Mario (Vargas Llosa) and Julio (Julio Cortázar) interpret the meaning of all life in Latin America." Cortázar: "I really wish Leo was born in Argentina!" Carlos Fuentes: "The biggest tragedy of Mexico is that it is too close to the United States and too far from the truth contained in Leo's works!" Susan Sontag: "Leo Lautaro Suarez is the conscience of our America and even the world!" Mo Yan: "The Latin American writers who have had a greater influence on me are Marquez and Leo Suarez!" Chen Zhongshi: "Before writing "White Deer Plain", I read Leo Suarez's novel repeatedly." Yu Hua: "Damn it, Leo Suarez's novel is so awesome!" … Years later, critics around the world labeled his novels "magical realism", but Leo spared no effort to refute: What I write about is not magic, but real, uniquely Latin American reality. This book is also called "I am a literary giant in Venezuela"
