No literary experience is rarer than reading a book that changes the way you see the world. War and Peace will change the way you look at the heroism and foibles of all men and women, from the ordinary to the exceptional. Certain novels of William Faulkner (Light in August, Absalom, Absalom!) succeed in elevating everyday life to the level of biblical parable. But the effect of One Hundred Years of Solitude, Gabriel Garcia Marquezs masterpiece, is unique. Nothing I have ever read conveys as it does the magic underlying the most quotidian events and gives even the most extraordinary occurrences an air of mystical inevitability. - Michael Hiltzik, Los Angeles Times | latimes/business/hiltzik/la-fi-mh-gabriel-garcia-marquez-20140417,0,3609093.column#ixzz2zD1bSE6C
