Finished my first Marquez!
Hello everyone!
I have been very stressed over my uni work recently and decided, as a little pick-me-up. I chose Gabriel Garcia Marquez's shorter work, Memories of My Melancholy Whores, and finished it in around two hours.
I have to say i was floored by the use of language. His prose felt sort of nostalgic and magical, even when discussing dark topics, the language let me sit in those moments without feeling a sense of guttural disgust.
The story is 115 pages long, so i would highly recommend it. Im looking forward to reading some of his other works now too! I own Love in the Time of Cholera, and 100 Years of Solitude, so after im finished with my work I'll start them!
