Yet nearly three years elapsed before One Hundred Years of Solitude made its way into English. The reason for the delay? Argentine Author Julio Cortazar, whose novel Rayuela had become a critical success in the U.S. as Hopscotch, offered Garcia Marquez a piece of advice based on his own happy experience: Get your book translated by Professor Gregory Rabassa of New York City.
