- Title
HISTORY AND MEMORY IN ALMANAC OF THE DEAD AND ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF SOLITUDE.
- Authors
Isip, J. D.
- Abstract
A literary critique is offered for the Native American novel "Almanac of the Dead," by Leslie Marmon Silko, and the Colombian novel "One Hundred Years of Solitude," by Gabriel García Márquez, focusing on the shared themes of history and memory. Topics addressed include the unreliability of the past as a source of accurate knowledge in the narratives, character studies of protagonists in each book, and the appropriation of memory for personal expression seen in their characters.
