Memory of my sad whores

"Memories of My Melancholy Whores" tells the story of a ninety-year-old journalist who wishes to celebrate his long life of prostitutes, books, and chronicles with a night of love with a young virgin. Inspired by the novel "The House of the Sleeping Beauties" by Japanese Nobel laureate Yasunari Kawabata, the acclaimed Colombian writer immerses us, in a text full of metaphors, in the loves and heartbreaks of a lonely and dreamy old man who never slept with a woman without paying her and never imagined that he would thus find true love. Rosa Cabarcas, the owner of a brothel, will lead him to the teenager with whom he will learn that for love there is no time or age and that an old man can die of love instead of old age. The incomparable writing of Gabriel García Márquez in a novel that is both a reflection on old age and a celebration of the joys of passion.
