The new novel by Gabriel García Márquez. In "Memories of My Sad Whores," Gabriel García Márquez tells a story about love, aging, and the meaning of life: For his 90th birthday, an old man, who has known only paid love throughout his life, gifts himself a night with a virgin in a brothel. On this night, which is followed by many others, he enchantedly observes the sleeping beauty and feels love for the first time in his life. Women have always played a role in the life of the old journalist - his beautiful and educated mother, who introduced him to classical music and literature; his alluring fiancée, whom he left; all the many whores he chose more for their price than their charms; and finally, Rosa Cabarcas, a seasoned madam, who offers him Delga on the night of his 90th birthday.
