"One Hundred Years of Solitude," by Gabriel Garc铆a M谩rquez
John Lee鈥檚 polished British narration and rolling Spanish accent draw us into this enchanted history of the village of Macondo 鈥 a place of high comedy, dark tragedy, and magical realism. Family secrets, South American myth, metaphor, and no small degree of lustiness weave a tale so dense that some may also want a paper version. Grade: A 鈥
