I really do like Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I really really do. And the best part is reading him in the original Spanish, where the language takes on a soaring splendor, a searing wit, a naughty undertone. This tale of a man, who, on his 90th birthday, accidentally falls in love with a 14 year old virgin prostitute is no exception. The plot is simple and small and beautiful, the storytelling lush. It’s a slim volume, which is good, because you’ll want to devour it all at once.
