Memories of My Melancholy Whores by Gabriel García Márquez

1.0

I'm more confused than anything else by this story. It's not particularly transgressive, not particularly erotic, not particularly ironic, not particularly beautifully written. To be fair, I also found Lolita a very dull read, so maybe I just need snappier plots and more chase sequences in my paedophilic tales. Genuinely nonplussed. It's a lot more boring than the blurb suggests, but it's a short read, so don't let my lack of positive feedback stop you from being similarly unimpressed.
