Have you read 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' Gabriel García Márquez's masterpiece of magical realism? Márquez was awarded the literature prize "for his novels and short stories, in which the fantastic and the realistic are combined in a richly composed world of imagination, reflecting a continent's life and conflicts."

One of my favourite novels of all time, and enjoyed the adaptation now that it’s streaming on Netflix.
Yes, I read it 15 years ago, incredible book! The very last sentence is still framed in my mind
I was not aware of the book or the author but I can say that his intellect absolutely shows in his picture. Will be inclined to read the book.

It's one of the most interesting books I've ever read, from my point of view as a writer of political-social fiction novels.
How about this story. The Big Bang was our universe turning itself into a gargantuan particle collider that created quark-electron plasma shrapnel as the expanding galaxies. What's the story for the created universe? There isn't one.

Yes. It was a compulsory reading in the subject #Literature in the last year of high school in #Venezuela. By the way, the surname should be written as García Márquez and not Márquez.
I really the first charter with the visits from the travelling seller to Macondo. This year I read ‘Pedro Paramo’ and thought “Now I know where Marquez got his stylistic inspiration”.
