There are works of fiction that are published, enjoyed, but after a few years, more or less disappear. Then there are novels that don’t just have literary success, but major cultural impact. One such book is One Hundred Years of Solitude, whose 50th anniversary is this year. It was written by Gabriel Garcia Marquez (1927-2014).

It is an epic(史诗) tale of the nation of Colombia, from the country’s founding to Marquez’s own time. The novel is a major example of a revolution in South American writing that was to have a far-reaching influence on global literature. The method of writing that Marquez and others are credited with inventing, “magic realism”，switched normal storytelling into a style where anything could happen.

Marquez treats Colombian history skeptically. He focuses on political corruption(*), civil war and the negative influence of American big business. And while this could be a description of a very conventional novel, One Hundred Years of Solitude is anything but conventional.

It took a memory of his grandmother to show him the right way to write the novel. He recalled that when she told him stories in his childhood, she would put on a “brick face”. Marquez remembered this trick and began to write the novel differently. He wrote, “If you tell something to someone with an absolutely serious expression on your face, you have a chance of them believing what you say.” It seems that mastering this trick of his grandmother’s helped Marquez create one of the greatest literary works of the 20th century.
