One Hundred Years of Solitude: The Making of a Global Classic
At age 38, Gabriel Garc铆a M谩rquez was an unknown writer living in Mexico City, having struggled for fifteen years to write One Hundred Years of Solitude. His most famous novel seemed destined for oblivion when it was finally published in 1967. The publisher was small, the style of the novel was strange, and the story took place in a remote Caribbean village. These were not the usual ingredients for success in the literary market. Unexpectedly, One Hundred Years of Solitude was an instant and stunning success. This talk will reveal new details about how Garc铆a M谩rquez wrote this novel and how it became one of the best-selling literature books of all time.
脕lvaro A. Santana-Acu帽a is Associate Professor of Sociology at Whitman College. He is the author of Ascent to Glory and Vida, magia y obra de un escritor global.
The talk will be cognate to the ILAC Senior Seminar "One Hundred Years of Solitude: A Bilingual Reading" taught by Prof. Hoyos and Laura Men茅ndez.
