![]() ![]() It will take some re-reading and pondering over this narrative, the saga of the Buendía family set in the fictional town of Macondo, to find which description is true. Or perhaps there’s only the same story over and over again, with variations on a theme. There’s no one story in One Hundred Years of Solitude. It is also a problem because I now have to write about it. This is happy since I now have a new favourite book. Happily, this is a problem I now have, because after a few years of keeping it on the to-read list, I finally took the opportunity to introduce myself to Gabriel García Márquez and magical realism through the classic novel One Hundred Years of Solitude. Unless you’re going to denounce it as trash, it’s hard to say anything new or noteworthy. It’s even more difficult to review a masterwork of literature when everyone already knows it’s a masterwork and has written endlessly about it since its original publication. Sometimes it’s quite difficult to review a book after a single reading when the book is clearly a masterwork of literature that does multiple things at once. ![]()
