Memories of My Melancholy Whores is Gabriel Garcia Mårquez's first work of fiction in ten years, the Spanish edition of which Ilan Stavans called, "Masterful. Erotic. As hypnotizing as it is disturbing" (Los Angeles Times).
On the eve of his ninetieth birthday, our unnamed protagonist decides to give himself "the gift of a night of wild love with an adolescent virgin."
The virgin is splendidly young, with the silent power of a sleeping beauty. The night of love blossoms into a transforming year. It is a year in which he relives, in a rush of memories, his lifetime of (paid-for) sexual adventures and experiences a revelation that brings him to the edge of dying—not of old age, but, at long last, of uncorrupted love.

Work Description
"Cuenta la vida de este anciano solitario, un apasionado de la música clásica, nada aficionado de las mascotas y lleno de manías. Por él sabremos cómo en todas sus aventuras sexuales (que no fueron pocas) siempre dio a cambio algo de dinero, pero nunca imaginó que de ese modo encontraría el verdadero amor."-- P. [4] of cover.
