CONCLUSION

The collapse of the niche responsible for the imagination, production, and early circulation of a literary work is an important step for the work to start climbing the ladder to classic status. This niche includes people, organizations, ideas, conventions, norms, rules, and objects involved in the work’s making. Over time, these collaborators are criticized or simply forgotten. And the result of this collapse is that work more representative of that niche stands as a landmark of the moment. That was the case of One Hundred Years of Solitude. It started to outgrow and outlive several of the collaborators involved in its making. In the process, this novel acquired a life of its own; it was no longer labeled a New Latin American Novel, no longer associated with a network of writers (but rather it was the isolated product of a single writer), and no longer controlled by a single publisher. Collaborators stopped influencing the life of this cultural good, which expedited the way for the intervention of cultural brokers.
