Memories of My Melancholy Whores is a dynamic novel by Nobel Laureate Gabriel García Márquez, author of One Hundred Years of Solitude. The story follows a journalist in Colombia, who on the eve of his ninetieth birthday decides to give himself 'a night of wild love with a virgin adolescent'. Upon seeing the beautiful girl, he is deeply enchanted, and his love for 'Delgadina' compels him to recall all the women he has paid to offer him love. Thus, he realizes that he must record the life of his heart, offering it freely to the world. “Márquez describes this erotic, sometimes unsettling journey with the grace and vitality of a master storyteller,” states the Daily Mail. “Márquez is magnificent on the transformative and redemptive powers of love… magical storytelling,” writes Tatler. “Márquez writes with this lyrical, magical language that no one else can achieve,” notes Salman Rushdie.
