Notes:
In his review of Memories of My Melancholy Whores, Creasy compares the book to Roth's The Dying Animal and concludes, "While Memories of My Melancholy Whores has certain charm, it lacks the historical sweep of the earlier novel, or any similar sense of substantial national allegory. Nor are its claims to present passion as convincing as, say, Love in the Time of Cholera. In its favor, the book is only 128 pages long. It may console you to know that you won't be much older by the time you finish it."
