Contemporary Fiction

[Otto]

"One Hundred Years of Solitude" was a great success even with some
friends of mine who never did read a "big" novel before and, as I
assume never after. But one of them seems to have even been "infected"
by Latin America through the novel; he lives in Costa Rica now.

As a fan of great opening sentences, the novel's first sentence is a
masterpiece!
