The End of Everything: A Novel

“This extraordinary novel obliterates the family tree in a prose jungle of overwhelming magnificence. . . You have the sense of living along with the Buendías (and the rest), in them, through them, and in spite of them, in all their loves, madnesses and wars, their allegiances, compromises, dreams and deaths. Like the jungle itself, this novel comes back again and again, fecund, savage and irresistible.” - Paul West, Washington Post
“One Hundred Years of Solitude is the first piece of literature since the Book of Genesis that should be required reading for the entire human race. It takes up not long after Genesis left off and carries through to the air age, reporting on everything that happened in between with more lucidity, wit, wisdom, and poetry that is expected from 100 years of novelists, let alone one man. García Márquez has done nothing less than to create in the reader a sense of all that is profound, meaningful, and meaningless in life.” - William Kennedy, National Observer
