Memories of My Melancholic Whores by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

On the eve of his ninetieth birthday, the protagonist (Mr. Unknown), made a call to Rosa Carbacas, to request for a strange birthday gift. The request...
                Fortunately or unfortunately, the gift changes his perspective about life and love. It is a tale about the meaning of age(ing), love, sadness and happiness. A tale that covers the importance of memories and most importantly,society's definition of old age.
“What happens is that you don’t feel it on the inside, but from the outside everybody can see it.”
                Every sentence in this book is pregnant with numerous meanings. Read it.
