What’s interesting to me is that I read the Metamorphosis right before I read 100 Years of Solitude. I l know exactly the tone you’re referencing Thanks for this analysis

7:15 Me ha quedado claro que no es lo mismo lo real maravilloso que el realismo mágico. Gracias. 16:12 Soledad (solitude). 17:50 Soledad ≠ solidaridad. Me gusta este enfoque, nos da una esperanza.

Thank you for this. I have the book sitting next to me and I must confess that I didn't understand it at all when I first read it. I have never read a magical realism book so I definitely was confused by how weird it was to have the lady floating and such, but that nobody cared lol. It's also clear now that I missed a lot of the historical context as someone unfamiliar with Latin America (oh, I could be a character, how isolated I am from world events as a Canadian...). I love the Spanish title much better than the English one - it is very beautiful to the eye for some reason. I like the word "solidad". I'm happy to understand it better. I appreciate you for making this.

I recommend reading The Courthouse, the introduction to William Faulkner's Requiem for a Nun. Over 40 or so pages, Faulkner tells us of the foundation of the city of Jefferson. Towards the end of that intro, he speaks of things that will remain after a hundred years and of things that will not remain. There are echoes of Jefferson in the foundation of Macondo, but of course the most important part of GGM's storytelling are the stories he heard from his maternal grandparents as he grew up as a child. I read Cien años de soledad the summer when I turned 17, and re-read it the following summer. I read Requiem for a Nun in 2009, about 30 years later.

Grandma and Kafka....maybe. I'd put more stock in the fantastical decima duels of Vallenato acordeonistas who surrounded Marquez in youth for primary fountainhead of cien anos. Was not the book framed as a Vallenato song of the most classic variety?

Me too. I think you have to know Colombian history first. I found the repeated names of characters confusing. And I'm not a naive reader, I'm 78, a former English major, and I've been reading my whole life, many thousands of books. Maybe someday I'll try it again. If it won the Pulitzer Prize, it can't be pointless.
