	Family saga - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The family saga is a genre of literature which chronicles the lives and doings of a family or a number of related or interconnected families over a period of time.
		In novels (or sometimes sequences of novels) with a serious intent, this is often a thematic device used to portray particular historical events, changes of social circumstances, or the ebb and flow of fortunes from a multiple of perspectives.
		While not regarded foremost as a family saga, the Star Wars film series by George Lucas amounts to a fantasy-based family saga revolving around three generations of the Skywalker family: Shmi Skywalker, her son Anakin and his twin offspring Luke and Leia.

	Filming the Chicano Family Saga.: Cineaste
		Nava's stylistic approaches in My Family are conventional, but, as he did in El Norte, the director succeeds in eliciting strong, realistic performances from his actors and in creating a powerful drama that is appealing both for its social conscience and the sensitivity with which the individual characters are portrayed.
		I came from a border family, so although I was born and raised in San Diego, I have lots of aunts and uncles and cousins who were born and raised in Tijuana.
		I remember that my family would go from tragedy to comedy in the course of a day, from morning to afternoon [laughs], and this is what life is like.

	The Marx Family Saga - Juan Goytisolo
		In The Marx Family Saga he plays with paragraphs, indentation, and capitalization; fortunately this is only initially off-putting and turns out, in fact, to be relatively transparent (and almost sensible).
		The political novel is a rarity in the English-speaking world: in the US race is practically the only political issue, in England it is mainly class, in the Third World Imperialism.
		This is a deeply political novel, but beyond a great sympathy with Marx and his family Goytisolo takes none of the obvious sides.

		Fanis's mother (Renia Louizidou) takes with her the secrets of her family's cuisine, and she is therefore central to the film's delightful debates about culinary superiority, including whether cinnamon belongs in the meatballs.
