5.0

this is one of the first books I've read in college as an english major. ive been reading Gabriel Garcia Marquez for about three years now but this is the first time I'm actually examining him. it feels full circle for me, to study about an author who changed my perception of literature. even after reading his more famed masterworks, i think this might be my favourite book of his. ive written enough essays about this book but something about it is so deeply special. marquez has an amazing talent of being able to explore cultural context through the deeply personal and intimate lives of people. everyone means something, no one is divorced from all that came before and all that sits around them.
