For Colombian writer Camila Brugés, working on the series adaptation of One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez was exactly what she expected: a process of the utmost rigor and intensity, not without its own — very necessary — delusions. “We had a million challenges, but there was always this certainty that we were going to make it. And I find that completely absurd,” the screenwriter says, laughing. “That seems to me like the greatest event of magical realism.” But they did make it. The response was such that the show made it to the Global Top 10 of non-English series on Netflix. The writing team Brugés is part of is already working on the second season of a story that, until recently, was thought to be unadaptable. With prose that revives the folklore and oral tradition of the Caribbean, One Hundred Years of Solitude is a portrait of a family through several generations, but also tells the evolution of a town over a hundred years of Colombian history.
