a beautiful, frank, + often times bitter rumination on love as a condition, love as a choice, love as an innate part of being, + love as a disease. juxtaposed against cholera, war + class it's an interesting story of love in all its variations intertwined with compelling narratives on death and aging. love isn't all just flowery writing (even though it's written as such). it's a slow, meandering read but a worthwhile one that approaches its themes with a certain mix of a kind of frankness and admiration i grew to like quite a bit

Reafirmo por qué es mi libro favorito del autor. Cada que lo leo encuentro algo nuevo y ahora hacerlo en un club de lectura, me dio la oportunidad de explorar distintos temas y tener más visiones sobre la historia.
Ahora vi con otros ojos el "amor" de Florentino y me gustó que hubo cosas que me cuestionaron y a la vez me hicieron preguntarme cómo era visión antes.
Un libro al que seguiré regresando siempre.
