Abstract: This paper provides a close examination of Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s novel One Hundred Years of Solitude (1967), through a postmodern lens offering a new perspective on how the Columbian writer corroborates magical realism in the novel by using his experience in writing art and by employing the new concept of reality from personal experiences along with the impact of the special geographical history of Latin America. The present paper aims to reveal postmodern elements of blending the real or believable with the fantastically outrageous and destabilized disordered centers of truth and reality. Using textual references, supporting literary criticism, and literary analysis, this study will ultimately explore the sources of many magical events along with the various component features of magical realism used to instill an air of magic in the novel.Magical Realism, One Hundred Years of Solitude, Disordered and Destabilized, Latin America, Component Features of Magical Realism, Sources of Magical Realism
