Episode notes

Colombian novelist Gabbo was awarded the 1982 Nobel Prize for Literature. This book came after he received that award. He lived in Arquitaca, which became the inspiration for the town in 100 years. His grandmother's storytelling style influenced what became known as his magical realist style.

In honor of our 10th (!) podcasting anniversary, this month we'll be re-doing some episodes based on books we read way back in the show's early years. This week we revisit our second-ever episode, talking about love, cholera, and the time when both of those things could happen simultaneously.
