Memoria de mis putas tristes / Memories of my Melancholy Whores by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
A New York Times Notable Book On the eve of his ninetieth birthday a bachelor decides to give himself a wild night of love with a virgin. As is his habit-he has purchased hundreds of women-he asks a madam for her assistance. The fourteen-year-old girl who is procured for him is enchanting, but exhausted as she is from caring for siblings and her job sewing buttons, she can do little but sleep. Yet with this sleeping beauty at his side, it is he who awakens to a romance he has never known. Tender, knowing, and slyly comic, Memories of My Melancholy Whores is an exquisite addition to the master's work.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez, awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1982, is the author of many novels and collections of stories, including One Hundred Years of Solitude, Love in the Time of Cholera, The General in His Labyrinth, Strange Pilgrims, and Of Love and Other Demons. He lives in Mexico City and Bogota.
