I read One Hundred Years of Solitude during the winter break two months ago – spoiler warning for those who haven’t finished since it’s hard to separate the first half from the second in retrospect. Some of the details of the plot have faded from my mind, yet the overall effect remains: this is a […]

One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez* is considered one of the best pieces of literature in the whole world, let alone Latin America as a regional category. I mentioned at the beginning of the term in the intro blog that this w…
