I would not consider 100 years of Solitude a fantasy novel but it is one of the best novels of the last 50 years. I was reading it on an air flight. The stewardess, a Latino, saw what I was reading and gave me a wink and a nod. She then gave me free drinks for the rest of the flight. I guess Latinos really love their authors. It is a very deep book.

I liked Jorge Luis Borges, Julio Cortazar, and Juan Rulfo more than Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Pedro Páramo may be the best Spanish novel since Cervantes. Interestingly, it influenced Garcia Marquez greatly, especially OHYS.
