Sorry to report this isn't one of his better works, nor is it his "Death in Venice" or his "The Old Man and the Sea."" | | | URL | | | |

| | | Title | | "García Márquez
| | | Publisher | | Associated Press | | | Publication place | | New York, NY | | | Publication year | | November 14, 2005 | | | Page | | | | | Volume | | | | | Issue | | | | | Notes | | In this review Goldstein states "A work by García Márquez, who is 78, is always worth waiting for. Always. Few have written about the essence of life, love, and death nearly as well as he. (And kudos to the translator, too, Edith Grossman.) The best known of his previous works, "Love in the Time of Cholera" and "100 Years of Solitude," are grand works in any language. "Memories" is not in that class, but a smaller gem." | | | URL | | | |

She also suggests that the reader "think of "Memories," then, as the lustrously written story of a shipwrecked sailer, as "magic prurience" protected from severe criticism by the astounding prior achievement of its sainted but unsaintly author." | | | URL | | | |

| | | Publisher | | Chicago Tribune | | | Publication place | | Chicago, IL | | | Publication year | | October 23, 2005 | | | Page | | 1 | | | Volume | | | | | Issue | | | | | Notes | | "Even the language, though it cannot avoid being rich under [Gabriel García Márquez]'s fingers, is direct. Though Spanish usually becomes shorter when rendered in English, the excellent [Edith Grossman] translation and the original Spanish version of 'Memories' are of roughly the same word count. García Márquez cunningly alludes to this economy when he quotes in the text from a Mexican poem that commends to writers given to verbosity 'torcerle el cuello al cisne,' which means 'to twist the neck of the swan.'" | | | URL | | | |
