Memories of My Melancholy Whores

Book Review by: Fau     

Original Author: Gabriel García Márquez
As was reading every page of this work of Garcia Marquez, I wondered what was the intent of this'' wise sad ''to tell their
story of love affairs rented? In the last pages of the book and making memory of the opening words of Gabriel when narrates the illusion that housed his heart the day he turned 90, I find that there is no reason to receive with gratitude those words when describing coated poetry love your innocent child, his 90 years. Knowing in the first half of the book that the famous writer had an account of the women who was linked to satisfy their carnal desires, and the 50 years amounted to over 500 whores in its register, I found input an exaggeration of his vanity But go, it is funny how they account adventure. Garcia Marquez described in this story to a writer impoverished dedicated to write articles about music in the daily La Paz, Columbian newspaper in which he wrote reviews of classical music and their authors. With a lenguje detalladado describes the deterioration that is the house that his parents once lived and which reflected faithfully in the spirit of this broken man apparently without dreams or hopes than the arrival of his death. What I find amazing is the confession that he had never been with a woman without being paid. Because sex is the consolation that one has when not enough love, said Marquez. That the time that thought and proposed marriage to a young girl, was frightened and will not be consummated this link. Have your maid remained untouched until his old age by love him, and that he, the old ''wise sad'', known love in what was perhaps the last decade of his life. Yes, it is fair to meet a girl who Carbacas Rosa, the owner of a brothel, you get already have called Delgadina, ''girls''. Then give free rein to their emotions more unexplored in its love story. The one that inspired him to make a turn in articles which used to send daily La Paz. Now focused on love letters from an old forward. And the text was published in its original form, with a touch of his pen and the letter of your draft. And so, at that brothel Rosa Carbacas, would be the place where his most ardent nights with his girl, his partner of bed. Such was the impact that caused her, which was decorating the cuartucho so that his Delgadina appreciating another outside world, a more gracious and polite. The relics were to be of the mother of Garcia Marquez had donated. And learned to get carried away by this wave of feelings, from the purest, that it wears kisses skin loved until more violent as it is caused by jealousy. It is not any love story is the story of a man who in their 90 years of age, it becomes capable of knowing love freer, but also the most embarrassed. As the love of youth, and curbed runaway at the same time. Just a different love, or maybe just a love of human beings. Are So who am I to say their romance was good or bad, dirty or clean? That is the beauty of individuality, that what is good for me might be unusable for you. What for this old was unimportant at a time, now is giving more value to the exquisite experience of playing his beloved with the warm wind of their ternuras and spilling into hiding the scent is sweeter than the love he leads.
