Oprah Winfrey and Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Thursday January 22, 2004
Oprah Winfrey's book club is taking on as their next pick Gabriel Garcia Marquez's epic work, "One Hundred Years of Solitude." An often confusing but magnetic story, "One Hundred Years of Solitude" is the tale of the mythical village of Macondo and its longtime inhabitants, the Buendia family. It has sold more than 10 million copies and has been translated into more than a dozen languages.
