Summary/Abstract: Literature, throughout the ages, persists and is realized through its essence, intertextuality. Through the essential phenomenon of intertextuality, literature is reshaped and recreated, so through the ages, it is intertextually recreated. This phenomenon, which has existed as long as human communication has existed, forces us in a way to accept what Eco also accepted when he talks about Borges and his anxiety about influence, saying that: “the most important thing is that books talk to each other.” In context, themes, motives, and times are intertextually connected, intertextually connected, in the novel One Hundred Years of Solitude (Gabriel García Márquez, 1967) and the short story collection Love in the Time of Facebook (Arlind Farizi, 2019)In contemporary prose, specifically in the postmodern collection of short stories Love in the Time of Facebook, intermediality also works, expressed through Internet communication, that is, through e-mail. The classic love letters are switched, they are replaced by electronic messages - chats, through which they create short stories in which “the narration develops with dramatic specificity, with the temporal acceleration of the action, with the pace of the text”, similar to the dynamic modern world, in constant, uninterrupted creation, in which only possibilities work.
