Excellent video! I loved this book (it’s likely one of my top ten best reading experiences.) and look forward to rereading it someday. Will follow up on the links. Thanks for providing them!
I recommend reading The Courthouse, the introduction to William Faulkner's Requiem for a Nun. Over 40 or so pages, Faulkner tells us of the foundation of the city of Jefferson. Towards the end of that intro, he speaks of things that will remain after a hundred years and of things that will not remain. There are echoes of Jefferson in the foundation of Macondo, but of course the most important part of GGM's storytelling are the stories he heard from his maternal grandparents as he grew up as a child.
I have been reading the book for five years. I read the first half in a few days and then I decided to read a number of pages or paragraphs on occasions.
I've been reading Finnegans Wake for bearly 40 years. Cien años de soledad was relatively easy for me. I read it when I w3as 17 and again the following summer. I should give it a third read, maybe this year.
