2.17 One Hundred Years of Technical Difficulties with Kali (pt.1)


Listen Later

Welcome back to The Community Library! This month the theme was FICTION IN TRANSLATION, so my dear friend Kali and I sat down to discuss One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez. We talked for so long that I had to split this episode into two parts! Part two will be out tomorrow, so you don’t have to wait long at all. In this episode we talk about magical realism, how Macondo is its own character, and why Úrsula Iguarán is the baddest bitch in town. I hope you enjoy!

Visit my website here for a link to a full transcription of the episode.

Next week, on the 31st of May, I am releasing a very special bonus episode. The clue is APPLE. Tune in tomorrow for another clue!
