| | | Publisher | | News World Communications | | | Publication place | | Washington, DC | | | Publication year | | November 27, 2005 | | | Page | | Books; On Books; B06 | | | Volume | | | | | Issue | | | | | Notes | | In this critique and review of the book Carol Herman states, "Readers had every reason to hope that Nobel laureate Gabriel García Márquez's latest novel, "Memories of My Melancholy Whores," his first work of fiction in 10 years, would be something to behold. But there is a wrinkle, and it rests in the limitations of the book's own central and disturbing act of "beholding."" | | | URL | | | |

| | | Title | | "Big Book of the Month," Esquire
| | | Publisher | | Esquire Publisher | | | Publication place | | New York, NY | | | Publication year | | November 2005 | | | Page | | 56 | | | Volume | | 144 | | | Issue | | 5 | | | Notes | | This article reviews Memories of My Melancholy Whores. The author states, "No doubt the work will be clucked at severely by reviewers of a tender age and gender--although perhaps not so severely as they peck at Messers Mailer and Roth and other old cocksmen who lack the protection of Third World cachet. But any actual sin would be committed only if they failed to see that Memories is an elegant, sturdy meditation on regret, isolation, decay, and the inevitable perversity of redemption." | | | URL | | | |

Yet the author still manages to grace Melancholy Whores with passages of limber loveliness. "Sex is the consolation you have when you can't have love," he writes." | | | URL | | | |

Memories of My Melancholy Whores isn't about sex or love, anyway -- it's about the limits and freedoms of age, the "risks of being alive," as the narrator puts it." | | | URL | | | |

It contains many of the elements that mark so much of his fiction - love, fate, familial ties, dreams, desperation, magic - as well as some of his tightest writing." | | | URL | | | |

Marquez took the top of my head off with the incantational beauty of his imagination, the mythic explication of South American history, the living ghosts and the dead ghosts, the dizzying repetition of names from one generation to the next." | | | URL | | | |
