Summary
Gabriel Garcia Marquez: Memories of my sad whores
Love has always been the most important theme of the prose work of Gabriel Garcia Marquez. But in his new novel, Remembering My Sad Whores, this writer celebrates love in the most witty way yet. The main character is a grumpy old journalist who, on his ninetieth birthday, gives himself a night of passion with a youthful virgin. But in a colorful brothel, he, who has never slept with a woman without paying her, falls in love for the first time in his life.
In another story about love, the author interweaves well-known motifs of death, growing up and friendship to the readers, creating again a multitude of fascinating characters, wonderful episodes and unforgettable stylistic miniatures. Gabriel García Márquez, the author of many fiction titles, among which One Hundred Years of Solitude, Twelve Pilgrims and Love in the Age of Cholera are certainly outstanding, was born in 1927 in Colombia. He received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982.
