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."

Notes:
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."

Viewed on January 15, 2008.|Also published in The Nation: www.thenation.com.| "By artistic choice he has instead constructed a memoir as close in form to a novel as perhaps has even been written. It opens with the arrival of his mother in Barranquilla, to take her son- then 22- back with her to sell the family house in Aracataca, on the trip that made him the novelist he became, and ends with the ultimatum he wrote on a plane to Geneva, five years later, that made the elusive sweetheart of his adolescence his future wife."
