In this review of Gabriel García Márquez's Memories of My Melancholy Whores Peter Wolfe discusses the plot and states, "This little book redefines joy. Gabriel García Márquez, having honed his craft for decades, needs only a couple of pages both to grab our attention and to win our trust. From the start, no clumsy syntax, descriptive overload, or psychological murk fouls his art."

Notes:
The American filmmaker, Francis Ford Coppola, readily admitted that he would like to make a film about the Liberator, Simón Bolívar. And for that, it could be based on a novel by the Colombian author, Gabriel García Márquez, particularly The General in his Labyrinth, with the help of the author himself.

Pena writes: "So much has been written about Gabriel García Márquez that it is as if a light had been shined through a prism, casting an entire rainbow of opinions. The author's eightieth birthday and the fortieth anniversary of the publication of One Hundred Years of Solitude have led the literary world and the media in general to celebrate the personality and work of this icon of letters."
"A copy of the Colombian Nobel Prize-winner's new book, Memories of My Melancholy Whores, his first novel after a 10-year hiatus, apparently fell into the wrong hands and was being illegally distributed in the streets before its release date."
