Reader comments
The writer Marquez is well-known to the world for his book "One Hundred Years of Solitude". This book contains interviews conducted by Marquez in his last years, covering his creative process, literary concepts, political views, attitude towards life, etc. In the interview, Marquez shared his insights and experiences in literary creation, as well as his thoughts on social and political issues. He reflects on his writing career and provides insight into his inspirations, writing style, and the meaning behind his literary creations.
Marquez has countless fans around the world, but unlike today's "idol", the writer, like many people of his time, was not willing to deal too much with the public, and even rarely gave interviews. The interviews included in this book are rare interviews with this great writer, in which Marquez answered some questions about his works and the development of South American literature. These answers also give us the opportunity to understand the writer's true inner thoughts and another side beyond his works.
Marquez's style is a magical style that I particularly like. The official name is magical realism. A perfect blend of truth and falsehood. He is such a good storyteller. But for such a good storyteller, his decision to become a writer also went through a lot of twists and turns, and it can even be said that he felt like he had survived from a desperate situation. Accompanying his mother back to his hometown of Macondo to sell a house, Marquez confirmed the voice deep in his heart in his hometown. As a result, Macondo has become a mysterious and charming place in the hearts of thousands of readers around the world. Unlike Hemingway, Marquez was passionate about movies. Even Marquez, whose works are so popular, said that reading is a very niche thing, and movies are more easily accepted by the public.
This book helped me understand Marquez better, especially his mental journey when he wrote "One Hundred Years of Solitude". His views on true love and folk superstition are interesting, and the interviews in the book show his candor. I like Marquez's real character, and his work "Dead Leaves" is indeed very representative, and his unique creative style can be seen. This book is a must-read for Marquez fans.
