百年の孤独[edit]

The article text lists the Shûji Terayama work with this title as a play, but IMDB has a 1981 film with that title by that director. The IMDB page has very little information. Does anyone know what's going on here? Personman (talk) 20:51, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lack of balance[edit]

The main thrust of this article is the apparent popularity or importance of the novel. However, it should be stated that the work is a compilation of unbelievable events written in a barely coherent story. The coherence is not helped by various characters having almost identical names. Living in a world with many fairy tale characteristics, many of the actors live extraordinary long and defy death or reappear as ghosts. The book is inventive but is it a work of genius? Some alternative views should be included. Timmytimtimmy (talk) 01:50, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, just find published critiques of the novel that coincide with your opinion and cite them. Bkatcher (talk) 01:48, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Gypsy vs. Romani[edit]

Someone changed all the references of Gypsies to Romani. While that is the preferred term now, if you used that word in 19th century Colombia, no one would know what you were talking about. Let's stick with the author's phrasing. Bkatcher (talk) 01:50, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
