100 Years of Solitude
June 5, 2007
"100 Years of Solitude" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Avon Books 1970 paperback edition
The height of Central/South American magical realism (that I've read anyway) and wonderful piece of storytelling. Following a family through a century of strange occurances and political turmoil, it seems like an outlet for every strange idea Marquez has ever had. From the year of solid rain, to the strange outbreak of insomnia that causes the family's village to slowly lose their memory, the novel lives in a world of its own creation tied to our own by the subtle dream logic running through it. Necessary reading.
