Notes:
In this review the author states, "At a little more than 100 pages, "Memories of My Melancholy Whores" is really more a novella than a novel and could appear to be a trifle in a large body of work. It is the author's first work of fiction in a decade, which is cause enough to celebrate, but it is also his best work of fiction in the past 20 years. It is an existential riff on the many qualities of love and a skillfully controlled and disciplined work of literature."
