| | | Publisher | | Toronto Star Newspapers | | | Publication place | | Ontario, Canada | | | Publication year | | December 17, 2005 | | | Page | | Books; C4 | | | Volume | | | | | Issue | | | | | Notes | | "In the recently published first volume of his memoirs, Living to Tell the Tale, Gabriel García Márquez makes it clear right from the beginning that his autobiography won't just be about what really happened. His memory of events is in various places irreconcilable with "the facts." It is an old magical realist's dream of the past, not an attempt at historical recovery. Memories of My Melancholy Whores is a short novel, a novella really, written in much the same spirit." | | | URL | | | |

No magical realism occurs, as much as the narrator might like it to: His cat cannot guide him to the missing Delgadina, just as he cannot catch sight of her riding the bicycle he gave her to her factory job." | | | URL | | | |
