Сто лет одиночества
In a summary of Edward Hood's book , García Márquez is characterized as an author who uses repetition and (intertextuality between the works of a single author) extensively in his fiction, including in "The General in His Labyrinth". Hood points out some obvious examples of repetition in García Márquez's works: the themes of solitude in "One Hundred Years of Solitude", tyranny in "Autumn of the Patriarch", and the desire for a unified continent expressed by Bolívar in "The General in His Labyrinth". An example of intertextuality can be seen in the repetition of patterns between books. For example, both Jose Arcadio Buendia in "One Hundred Years of Solitude" and Bolívar in "The General in his Labyrinth" experience labyrinthian dreams.
