Notes:
In this review John Freeman states, "The coin of a prostitute's transaction is not love but debasement. In Gabriel García Márquez's new novella, "Memories of My Melancholy Whores," the Nobel Laureate uses this truth to skewer an aging newspaper columnist who believes, on the eve of his 90th birthday, that he has found true love in a bordello."
