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."

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."

In this review Freeman states that the novel "is not a story about a man who finds eros in the nick of time, but about how much sway the idea of it has over us, even at the end of our days."

Notes:
"This is the voice that the author found in One Hundred Years of Solitude but the voice that narrates Living to Tell the Tale, the first projected three-volume memoir, is more journalistic, more reminiscent of his earlier works. And that, it turns out, is a stroke of genius."

In the article Bonca states, "García Márquez is in his late 70's now, and his latest work, Memoirs of My Melancholy Whores, is a novella that, like the last few works by Issac Singer, feels at once modest and brazen, magisterial and bizarre, breaking no new ground but summing up a career's worth of imaginative creation in a little fable of head-shakingly absurd sweetness."
