About this listen

Today on Leaf by Leaf, we're studying Gabriel García Márquez and One Hundred Years of Solitude. Our craft topic is opening lines and the first chapter — specifically, how an opening earns a reader's trust, makes a contract with them, and pulls them forward into a story they didn't know they needed. But before we get into the craft, let me give you a quick overview of the novel itself — just enough to orient us for the conversation ahead.
