The first episodes of "One Hundred Years of Solitude" - a 16-part series that should be an Internet blockbuster—will be presented on December 11.
Gabo popularized the literary style of magical realism, which blends elements of the real and the fantastical. This unique approach to storytelling expands imagination and appreciation for the power of magical elements in fiction.
