Abstract: Abstract The Latin American novelist Gabriel José de la Concordia Garcia Márquezwon the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982 for his novels and short stories that often depicted a fictional village in Colombia called Macondo. This village portrayed a sense of magic and solitude. The town’s association with magical realism in the novels led some in Latin America to refer to the evolution from solitude to wealth, and back to solitude, or to absurd news events, as belonging to Macondo.
