sjbozich 's review for:
Memories of My Melancholy Whores
by Gabriel García Márquez
When Garcia Marquez' sons recently decided to publish his "do not publish" novella "Until August" they stated that they felt the quality was as high as some of his other writing. They might have compared it to this late in his career mediocre (at best) novel. At times a "charming" tale. At other times it is just pretty creepy - a 90 yr old man (the text lets us know that supposedly he is in good shape, and could pass for - well, 70!) and a 14 year old peasant girl. Who he prefers asleep, especially after the one time she does talk to him (he is a "scholar" after all).
Ugh. Nope. Garcia Marquez' prose and stories can be sensual. But later in life they just became the unlikely dreams of an old man.
1 out of 5.
