Tossup

This novel ends with the realization that “races condemned … did not have a second opportunity on earth” in Gregory Rabassa’s translation. After dreaming of a ghost he killed, a character (10[1])in this novel travels until he dreams of a “city built with mirrors.” One of this novel’s Segundo twins dies reading of a massacre he witnessed in a Romani scholar’s parchments. (10[1])Úrsula’s incestuous marriage (10[1])curses a family in this novel (-5[1])that has seventeen sons (10[1])with the same name (10[1])and a baby with a pig’s tail. In this novel, (10[1])Melquiades (10[1])is the first (10[1])to be buried (10[1])in a town founded by José Arcadio Buendía.
