Notes:
In this review of Memories of My Melancholy Whores Carlin Romano notes many similarities between Gabriel García Márquez's life and the life of the narrator in his book. 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."
