It is necessary to stress this point, this sense that history is a cruel farce, experienced as fantasy and forgotten quickly, because it may well be the case that, in writing this novel, one of Marquez's main points is to leave his readers with a strong sense of the tragic futility of such an attitude.
Loneliness in Macondo and among the Buendias is not an accidental condition, something that could be alleviated by better communications or more friends, and it is not the metaphysical loneliness of existentialists, a stage shared by all men.

 Macondo, Shoreditch (Bar / Restaurant) Fluid Style (London) review - one of 500 must-visit London venues.
Macondo is a cosy space (yes, read cramped) but there is something likeable about this fairly narrow room and its hodge podge of furniture (leather sofas, poofs and even a wicker egg chair suspended from the ceiling).
Because of its wee size it’s generally packed (there’s no space for standing room, if you’re not sat down don’t bother) but Macondo is a wonderful idea and has made finding a low-key place to chill out a piece of cake.
And, meanwhile hundred of stories flout around, the walls of Macondo give you the chance to delight your site with the most multicultural art exhibittions, another kind of realm cooked for artist from the community.
