Gabriel García Márquez, like most people with last names following the Hispanic tradition, has 2 "last" names. (See http://perez.cs.vt.edu/twolastnames)
The tradition among some American women to keep one's maiden name as a middle name is different. "Bradley, Marion Zimmer" is correct.

2. I think that's how it is supposed to be, if we go by Librarian Manual
Multi-part Surnames and Generational Suffixes
Authors with unhyphenated multi-part surnames and generational suffixes should be entered as follows in the sort by field:
garcía márquez, Gabriel
dubus, andre, iii
smith, john, jr.
In the shelf display field, they should be entered as follows:
García Márquez, Gabriel
Dubus III, Andre
Smith Jr., John
3. I added Original Publication Date which I hope fixes this
