A hundred years of solitude is a Latinamerican CLASSIC! The genre is "magical realism" and it's about crazy things being perceived as natural for the characters yet the most normal things being weird. Honestly at least in Chile is a book that is almost always mandatory at school. I love the author. Gabriel García Marquez is amazing but he definitely made me suffer with all the characters having the same name hahaha

Indeed, One Hundred Years of Solitude is about the lifetime of the town of Macondo following the family that founded it and was there when it ended. Gabriel Garcia Marquez first introduced this fictional town of Macondo in short stories that were published in the newsletter. Some of his first novels also developed stories and characters in the same town. Macondo was inspired by his hometown Aracataca. If you read other stories in Macondo, it is like you know they belong to the same universe and recognise some of the characters.

What is insane about 100 Years of Solitude is that reading it as a Latino American, even more, as a Colombian, you know what's being narrated makes complete sense. Because most of us have heard stories our whole lives that sound insane, but that are "real". And I don't need to explain it further because Gabriel García Marques manages to transmit it in his novel so well, that people from outside Latin America get it while reading it, as Jack shows. I think that's one of its biggest features.

I remember a video that said that "As a Latin-American, magical realism is just realism" (and as a Peruvian I can confirm it does tend to seem that way) not necessarily because of superstitions, it has a lot to do with syncretism and the catholic faith being intertwined with older native traditions and beliefs, as well as families being very large and close together so anecdotes just get carried on for generations, possibly becoming more exaggerated with each telling. Then at the same time many villages are very close by to rainforests and wild animals, so for example my great grandmother knew a soldier that was swallowed by a boa, which is the kind of thing you could see happening in a magical realism story. (Though I’ve read magical realism, I haven’t gotten to reading 100 years of solitude yet, but I really want to)

@@cristinabottger1509 Coming from a country who passes on such realities in the same way, it is superstition. ‘A superstition is any belief or practice considered by non-practitioners to be irrational or supernatural, attributed to fate or magic, perceived supernatural influence, or fear of that which is unknown.’ The reason for its integration into a culture doesn’t mean it’s not superstition.

@@cristinabottger1509 That’s very well put. It’s exactly that experience. It is sometimes hard to make people from other places understand it they way we have lived through it, but notice how Jack mentioned magical realism and not superstition, which is a wider comprehension of Latin American culture, rather than reducing it to just one phenomenon.

One hundred years of solitude does have plot. It is easier to understand when you know a bit of Colombian history and can relate the events in the novel to the events that inspired it. As a colombian, this books is pretty much mandatory reading in school and we study it through our actual history. When you see it as the story of a country, instead of a single character, you can see that there is plot woven in between all the seemingly random events. Anyways, I'm glad you liked it!

When I first read "Franny and Zooey," I had a similar reaction to yours. But I returned to it later, and because I then knew what I was getting into, I appreciated it so much more. If you read "Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters and Seymour: An Introduction," -- as well as two of the stories in "Nine Stories" -- you'll get to know the rest of the Glass family, and it will all come together more clearly. Every few years I reread all of these books. Salinger's writing is amazing and like no other.

One hundred years of solitude is also a very in-depth depiction of Colombian identity and history; the never ending curse of violence and disgrace, in contrast with the magical, and beautiful landscapes, people & stories that the country has make it a very special and personal book (at least for Colombians who read it) But is also very universal in the way that people from all over the world (like yourself or Pedro) also appreciate its beauty without knowing the context in witch the author took inspiration from. It is also a Nobel literature Prize winner;)

The edition of One hundred years of Solitude that's distributed here in Argentina does NOT come with a family tree on the first page. Maybe the editors think that the translated edition needs that for the European/ north american readers who don't know Spanish but man!!!! we Hispanics need it too!! I don't know wich Aureliano are we talking about please help

Franny and Zooey is one of my favourite books of all time. It's a shame you didn't pick on on the theatre/acting subject matter. You observed that the book reads as a series of arguments (hello, can prose be more play-like?). The fat lady image, the fact the F&Z's parents were vaudeville actors & that Zooey is an actor - just to mention a few. I wonder if Pedro Pascal was drawn to this book because of how much attention Sallinger puts on acting/theatre.

I was so excited for this video! I just got a Baldwin book for my birthday, now I'm more excited to read it. Gabo is one of my favorite authors. I found 100 years of solitudes very intimidating so procrastinated reading it for forever, but when I did...I loved it. I honestly didn't find it that hard to keep track of the family tree (my copy didn't have one 😢) but then I realized it was because my family is almost as big as the Buendia's 😂

I agree with you about James BaldWIN. I love everything he has written, Giovanni's Room is one of my all time favourites.

When Jack said García Márquez let his imagination run wild I laughed really hard because GM used to say he wasn’t good at anything, like literally he couldn’t be a lawyer because he didn’t like arguing or a banker because he didn’t like numbers, so he started writing.

There is also a film of Don't Look Now from the 70s starring Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie which is somewhat of an influential work in cinema. Fun fact is that it received an X rating in the UK for the sex scene in it that was quite scandalous for the time. They cut a few frames from it which allowed it to receive an R rating in the US.

This was interesting, because for one thing, I actually like the “Zooey” section of the book more than I do the “Franny” part (though some of that may be because her disagreeable date has my name). And “One Hundred Years of Solitude” is an amazing novel and a well-deserved classic. It sounds like I need to find myself a copy of “Another Country.”

I was made to read 100 years of solitude in school, because as a Colombian they make us read our one literature Nobel Prize book, but back then I wasn't that tick, so I just got confused stopped reading and basically cheated on our reading control using an app someone made on the book, might read it when I have the time and mindpower to give to that book.
