Of Love and Other Demons
purpleman lent me Of Love and Other Demons by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. i always loved Marquez, the way he mixes miracles and passion and tragedy all together. this particular novel is much shorter than most of his other famous masterpieces, but, like some of his best short stories, poignant and beautiful. i finished the book several days ago and i'm still haunted by the image of the little girl sitting at her windowsill, eating grapes.
