In addition to “One Hundred Years of Solitude,” Netflix also recently adapted Juan Rulfo's Mexican novel "Pedro Páramo" into a film. Magical realism is having its TV momentGarcía Márquez, who won the Nobel Prize in literature in 1982, was best known for novels and short stories that use magical realism to blur the lines between fantasy and reality. An important literary tool for many Latin American authors, magical realism allows these writers to both explain sociopolitical realities and the abstract feelings associated with them.

How Netflix Made Magic Look Real in ‘One Hundred Years of Solitude’ The series, which will be released this week, adapts the novel for the screen for the first time. The author always refused, insisting that his novel, in which the real and fantastical converge, could never be rendered onscreen. Built by Netflix from the ground up for the first-ever screen adaptation of the novel, the town has real birds nesting in its trees and dogs wandering its narrow streets. To recreate Macondo, Netflix also relied on museums, documents, researchers and historians. Because of the care brought to that effort, the details accumulate to make Macondo seem real, said Enríquez, the production designer.

“I’ll be withdrawing my name from consideration to serve as Attorney General,” now-former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz posted on social media. Once the nation’s largest swing state, Florida is now stocked with Trump allies and a comfortable home turf for Republicans. It’s a state Trump won by more than 10 percentage points, up from his three-point win in 2020. “You need an Attorney General on Day 1 to be able to executive your plan,” a Trump official said. “I am kind of surprised other states are not pushing back harder, but they just are not.”“But that kind of makes sense to a degree,” Iarossi added of the state Trump won easily.

Founded in 1930, Girona plays its football at the modest 14,000-capacity Estadi Montilivi on the outskirts of a city that has a population of just 100,000. Girona was previously promoted to La Liga in 2017, spending only two seasons in Spain’s top flight before being relegated. David Ramos/Getty Images“I tell you what, why not?” Hunter said when asked if Girona can win the league. He’s young, he’s intelligent, he’s ambitious, he’s driven. Fran Santiago/Getty ImagesRegardless, Girona has earned the right to dream and Hunter says upsetting the odds and winning La Liga “would mean everything” to the club and its fans.

☆ Opinion: Why Vivek Ramaswamy’s swipe at Nikki Haley was so off base
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-02 | by ( Opinion Jeff Vasishta | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +7 min

CNN —In a move surprising even for a mercurial figure like Vivek Ramaswamy, the millionaire businessman this past week took a backhanded swipe at fellow Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley. For many Indian Americans and many Anglo Indians like me, Ramaswamy’s line of attack might not seem particularly surprising. With his jab at Haley, Ramaswamy almost certainly was not looking to ingratiate himself with Indian Americans. And on the whole, surveys show that nearly seven in 10 Indian voters in the United States identify as Democrats or lean Democratic. This did Ramaswamy no favors with Indian voters, especially Indian women.
