Gabriel Garcia Marquez is a Colombian novelist and short story writer known as one of the masters of "magic realism", a style that describes a mingling of the mundane with the fantastic. He won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1982. His best-known novel, "One Hundred Years of Solitude"(1967), combines realistic fiction with fantastic nonsense such as levitation and alchemy. Its cast is so large and confusing that you need a family tree to keep track of the plot. However, this book is a masterpiece in its genus. It narrates the rise and fall of the imaginary town of Macondo through the story of the Buendia family. The three most relevant women in the novel are Pilar, Fernanda, and Ursula. Pilar is a typical mundane woman who makes love with whoever (Maybe because she was raped being a teenager).
