Description
Memories Of My Melancholy Whores. Gabriel Garcia MARQUEZ. 2005, uncorrected proof. 2005, Alfred A. Knopf. An original 1st ed. uncorrected proof in printed covers, in 'as new' condition. "García Márquez has composed, with his usual sensual gravity and Olympian humor, a love letter to the dying light."--John pdike, The New Yorker 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 womens- 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 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.
