Insight In Marquez’s Whores

Sex is the consolation you have when you can’t have love.                                                ——————–Gabriel Garcia Marquez in Memories of My Melancholy Whores

I believe; story is only as grand as the story teller. And, no one can beat the Maestro at that.

I recommend everyone read it, sheds a different perspective on our geriatrics—father, uncles, grandfathers. And possibly yourself down the road.

    aha! much of book trading here. it’s a very very small book, around 100 pages. I saw it in Borders/Barnes & Novles for $14, but do not make a mistake of buying it. Go to your local library, why pay, when you can get for free.

    as for nepal, i don’t know, if they carry that book in the library. i guess, you might be able to find it in, i forgot the name of the library in kupondol height opened with ex-pats donation.
