"One Hundred Years of Solitude" by Nobel Prize–winning author Gabriel García Márquez is a sweeping novel that follows the rise and fall of the Buendía family across generations in the fictional town of Macondo. Blending history, myth, and magical realism, the classic novel explores love, power, memory, and the cyclical nature of human life. Is it dazzling or disorienting? Timeless or tangled? Beautiful or brutal? Hosts Kacy and Tyler dig into its themes, literary style, and lasting influence to help you decide if this landmark of world literature belongs on your shelf or just on your “to be admired” list.
