Notes:
After describing the plot, Theo Tait concludes that the "point" is that "García Márquez threatens to present us with the horrifying spectacle of the old goat preying on the poor girl, and then endlessly defers it." He then goes on the state that "Memories of My Melancholy Whores seems like an old man's fever dream, full of bizarre, arresting meditations on love, nostalgia, and mortality."
