“I cannot remember the books I've read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me.”
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
One Hundred Years of Solitude
by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
I happily recreated the Insomnia Plague of Macondo, which causes the village to lose their memories. To facilitate a kind of remembering, the inhabitants of the town begin to label everything; a brilliant concept reminiscent of an Oliver Sacks case study. The plague is finally cured when Melquíades the gypsy returns to Macondo bearing an antidote - and the first camera Macondo has ever seen - it being the way we fix memories to this day.
