Erotic. As hypnotizing as it is disturbing\" (\"Los Angeles Times).\" \u003cbr\u003eOn the eve of his ninetieth birthday, our unnamed protagonist-an undistinguished journalist and lifelong bachelor-decides to give himself \"the gift of a night of wild love with an adolescent virgin.\" \u003cbr\u003eThe virgin, whom an old madam procures for him, is splendidly young, with the silent power of a sleeping beauty. The night of love blossoms into a transforming year. It is a year in which he relives, in a rush of memories, his lifetime of (paid-for) sexual adventures and experiences a revelation that brings him to the edge of dying-not of old age, but, at long last, of uncorrupted love. \u003cbr\u003e \"Memories of My Melancholy Whores\" is a brilliant gem by the master storyteller.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Knopf","offers":[{"title":"Memories of My Melancholy Whores | Gabriel Garcia Marquez | Hardcover | 9781400044603 | Used: Like New | Fiction 1601124","offer_id":48313039061144,"sku":"1601124","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Memories of My Melancholy Whores | Gabriel Garcia Marquez | Hardcover | 9781400044603 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks A 1750209","offer_id":48882455707800,"sku":"1750209","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71TRWK8BTJL.jpg?v=1773160073","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/memories-of-my-melancholy-whores-1","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
