“ I'll be in the cafe with a Manassas BC Meetup sign on the table. And I look like my meetup picture. ”

At this meetup we will be discussing One Hundred Years of Solitude. From Wikipedia:

...novel by Nobel Prize winning Colombian author Gabriel García Márquez that was first published in Spanish in 1967 (Buenos Aires: Sudamericana), with an English translation by Gregory Rabassa released in 1970 (New York: Harper and Row). The book is considered García Márquez's masterpiece, metaphorically encompassing the history of Colombia or Latin America.

The novel chronicles a family's struggle, and the history of their fictional town, Macondo, for one hundred years. García Márquez acknowledges in his autobiography Living to Tell the Tale that Macondo was based on the towns where he spent his childhood. Like many other novels by Gabriel García Márquez, One Hundred Years of Solitude crosses genres, combining elements of history, magical realism, and pure fiction.

Please come prepared, having read the book and ready to discuss. Also come prepared to nominate books for our next few meetups.
