I remember reading Cien Años de Soledad and being so fascinated that I could not put the book down and go to sleep. The books that followed left me feeling let down. Then came the Nobel Prize but the prize is given for a body of work and not a single book. So, it was not until Love in the Time of Cholera came out that I felt he deserved the prize. Those flashes of greatness and insight will be remembered.
