In Where 3 Roads Meet and Memories of My Melancholy Whores, it's their self-possession that's so intriguing." | | | URL | | | |

| | | Title | | "He Wants to Die Alone, But First," The New York Times
| | | Publisher | | The New York Times Company | | | Publication place | | New York, NY | | | Publication year | | November 22, 2005 | | | Page | | Section E; Column 1; The Arts/Cultural Dest; | | | Volume | | | | | Issue | | | | | Notes | | In reviewing the book, this article by Michiko Kakutani criticizes Memoirs of My Melancholy Whores, stating that "like the entries in his 1993 collection "Strange Pilgrims," this tale demonstrates that the shorter form of the story does not lend itself to Mr. García Márquez's talents: his penchant for huge, looping, elliptical narratives that move back and forth in time is cramped in this format, as is his desire to map the panoramic vistas of an individual's entire life. The fertile inventiveness that animated his masterpiece "One Hundred Years of Solitude" is decidedly muted in these pages, and the reverence for the mundane realities of ordinary life, showcased in more recent works , seems attenuated as well. As a result, "Memories of My Melancholy Whores" feels like brittle little fable composed on automatic pilot." | | | URL | | | |

| | | Title | | "Living to Tell the Tale," Prairie Schooner
| | | Publisher | | University of Nebraska Press | | | Publication place | | Lincoln, NE | | | Publication year | | 2005 | | | Page | | 189-193 | | | Volume | | | | | Issue | | 79.1 | | | Notes | | In his review Townley states that, "His long awaited memoir, Living to Tell the Tale, the first in a planned autobiographical trilogy, is a richly imagined volume, brimming with lush description and historical immediacy. And if the author has, over the course of his seventy-five magical years, succumbed to those ineluctable lapses in memory, we're certainly none the wiser. And it wouldn't matter anyway: as García Márquez writes in the book's epigraph, "Life is not what one lived, but what one remembers and how one remembers it in order to recount it."" Townley also states that, "unlike many contemporary autobiographies, this one does not indulge in postmodern fripperies. Instead, García Márquez offers a "traditional" memoir: one recounted through the first person in the past tense, in a voice both warm and conversational." | | | URL | | | |
