LITERATURE: Catfight
Well, I thought I’d be pulling out a Toni Morrison as my next novel selection, but two ladies stepped into my path through the piles and are begging my attention. It is so neat to be looking for something to … Continue reading Continue reading

LITERATURE: Love in the Time of Cholera – Finale
"If we’re going to do it, let’s do it," she said, "but let’s do it like grownups." At long last, Fermina and Florentino are about to make love. She, realizing that this love is not the same as what she … Continue reading Continue reading
LITERATURE: Love in the Time of Cholera – Underlying Theme
I’m sensing within Marquez’s narratives a continuity of low-level conflict that is a constant beneath the layers of ongoing story. Perhaps because this novel, as well as 100 Years of Solitude is based upon his own country of birth, there … Continue reading Continue reading

LITERATURE: Love in the Time of Cholera – Marquez on Sex
Obviously, what Florentino Ariza discovers about women through his liaisons with prostitutes is never applied to ladies such as his beloved Fermina Daza, but this observation is interesting: It was in those days that he devised his rather simplistic theories … Continue reading Continue reading
LITERATURE: Love in the Time of Cholera – Philosophy
Marquez slips in some food for thought: His (Florentino Ariza’s) uncle was angry with him because of the manner in which he had thrown away the good position of telegraph operator in Villa de Leyva, but he allowed himself to … Continue reading

LITERATURE: Reading Downtime
No surprise, I’ve too much on my plate and haven’t been able to zip through any readings and reviews lately. Once more, just as with food, my huge appetite has forced me to take smaller bites of each genre in … Continue reading Continue reading

Marquez touches upon a sensitive topic here with Florentino Ariza, who has just discovered that Fermina Daza has decided upon wedding the persistent Dr. Juvenal Urbino. Urbino may not have had the dedication to the affair from Fermina, but he … Continue reading Continue reading
