We are going to begin reading arguably Latin America's most celebrated novel, 100 Years of Solitude (1967) by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. When talking about magical realism, it is essential to know who this Noble Prize Winning author is and why his work is adored by many in Latin America and the rest of the world. Here's a great resource for understanding the cultural and historical events that color Garcia's work, as well as a biography of the man himself.
In class,we are going to do a reading activity with about half of the first chapter of 100 Years of Solitude. Afterward, you will resume work on your hint fiction projects. You are required to have at least 2 done by the end of class, to be handed in. Note the instructions for the project on the previous blog for any clarifications on the assignment.
HOMEWORK: Please go to the Gabriel Garcia Marquez website and write out three interesting things you learned about Marquez. It will be collected next class.
