Love in the Time of Cholera | Gabriel Garcia Marquez
post image
Bailedbailed

*trigger warning* There is no doubt that Márquez is a gifted wordsmith, penning an eloquent, albeit dense & tedious prose, but my troubles with this novel are the deplorable themes of romantized sexual assault, statutory rape & the contemptible message that unwilling women "just need a bit of convincing." Florentino made my skin crawl throughout, perpetuating toxicity that was apparently in the name of unrequited love; stalking Fermina (1/?)

TheIntrovertedDodoBird Disillusioned and arrogant enough to believe that only her husband stands in the way of their eternal bliss; not the fact that she may or may not be in love with him. He transcends promiscuity by using women as sexual objects, then romantises even that by claiming eternal fidelity to Fermina, despite the 622 women, some of whom were underage and whom he assaulted, he had relations with in the name of forgetting the woman who rejected him (2/?) 5d
TheIntrovertedDodoBird Then, he belittles them by constantly referring to them with inferior and misogynistic pet names, like "little birds," and fetishizes an underage girl in nauseating detail. I rarely regret finishing a book, but Love in the Time of Cholera is an isolated exception. A true anomality that I need to purge from my brain. "Obsessive Love Disorder" isn't something that should be romantized, yet Márquez composed an entire novel in its "honour" (3/?) 5d
TheIntrovertedDodoBird This novel is bound for a one-way trip to the charity shop, and I will be opting for a light read to decompress. I've never been more relieved to slap a book down and call it a day on an author. Truly horrendous. 5d

Leniverse Agree 100% This novel put me off reading anything else by the author. I can forgive a lot in exchange for great prose, but this book just enraged me. I really wanted the male protagonist to get struck by lightning and then die slowly from cholera. 4d

TheIntrovertedDodoBird @Leniverse Thank goodness! I thought I was the only one who thought this about Márquez! I really needed to vent after finishing the book, hence my long review, because I found myself so angry at the author and the story and myself for even sticking with it until the end. Yes! I've never wanted a fictional character to succumb to death more than Florentino Ariza! Not to mention, I would have revelled in the irony of him dying of cholera. 4d
dabbe @TheIntrovertedDodoBird And I'm enraged just reading your review. I will stay away from this one! 🤩 4d
TheIntrovertedDodoBird @dabbe Honestly, the only consolation I have for finishing it is being able to warn others away from it! You will save yourself one helluva of a headache by skipping this one, trust me, not to mention a crazy amount of contempt for the author, the character, and the story! I was infuriated! I have no idea how this book is so revered by many! 4d

Pining for someone your whole life that doesn‘t reciprocate is no way to spend one‘s life. Especially if it means being a profligate in the process. Some would find it romantic to spend 53 years waiting for a love, I would say that there is another love out there that will return the sentiment and lead one to a more fulfilling life. I found Florentino to be borderline poignant in this story, as the worst kind of love, is a one sided one.

Took me a while to get through this cause the prose is thick and I picked it up during a very transitory period of my life. Glad I read it though - the characters are fascinating. The magical realism elements are interesting are sparse but beautiful.

I found this quite hard to get through. The chapters were long, the characters are in my opinion unlikeable, and Florentino should not have spent his whole life pining for someone 🤷🏼‍♀️
BUT
Overall I quite enjoyed how it all came together…

The word love is in the title so surely it‘s a love story right? That misconception ended quickly. It felt like what reading Wuthering Heights felt like but from a different angle.

To describe the relations in the novel the word toxic comes to mind. It‘s about the toxicity that disguises itself as love. Maybe the toxic lover truly thinks what they have is love but that type of love is love for the sake of self not love given to another.

Kaag Slight detour from the novel here but maybe all love is ultimately for the sake of self when you really get down to it, but actions that show a selfless side, while ultimately still may be about self, surely they reveal a more true love than obsessive love right?

Anyways….
(edited) 1y
Kaag Dr. Urbino and his wife Fermina Daza have an interesting relationship where subtle antagonisms (also, maybe not so subtle) dominate (and make us chuckle). (edited) 1y
Kaag There seems to be two different readings to this novel. It‘s either seen as a sentimental love story or something of a warning about the sinister nature of obsession. The view taken by the reader depends on how you see Florentino Ariza, whether or not he pulls you in. I personally see him as little better than Humbert Humbert. An interesting book club double read would be this and Lolita. 1y

I‘m struggling to get through this one for #FoodandLit. I started it almost two weeks ago and enjoyed the first third of the book well enough… but then it really slowed down for me. I ended up putting it down over a week ago, and have no interest in picking it back up. I still have a little over half to go.

Has anyone read it? Should I DNF it, or give it another go? Thoughts?

staci.reads I made myself finish it when I read it a few years ago, and wish I had abandoned it. It is on so many "have to read" lists that I feel I'm really missing something, but, man, I did not like anything about it. 2y

Graywacke I enjoyed it. Ok, I loved it and still love it hindsight. I thought it was romantic and funny and ridiculous and a curious commentary on love and disease…and that stuff that causes Cholera. (💩) And I enjoy the author‘s writing. But no fun to push through any book. Abandon. 2y
perfectsinner Hated it 😐 2y
Zoes_Human I ask myself two things about a book to decide if I'm going to DNF it:

1) Am I enjoying it?

2) Am I learning anything/improving from it?

If the answer to both is no, then bail. Life is finite, and I can think of nothing that is worth my precious time that doesn't meet at least one of those conditions.

Sapphire It is very slow in the middle and gets really good at the end. I vote for skimming in the middle. It‘s beautiful prose but if you aren‘t feeling it you will get as much from skimming and the sense of time passing till you get very near the end. 2y

I finally finished Love in the Time of Cholera, and throughout I needed the advice to just “keep calm and carry on.” This is not my idea of a great love story, and many times I set it down and waited a while before picking it up again. Yet, when I read the final pages today, I can‘t quite say I hated how it all came together either. I do wish the parrot had been in the whole story. 🦜

Less a book of plot, and more a novel of ideas and emotions, and unfortunately for me these were not, most of them, ideas and emotions I was interested in.

And that‘s basically what it comes down to….

There‘s lots of long sections where nothing is happening but descriptions of stuff that happened (tons of this being all the women the protagonist sleeps with), and I could not stay engaged.

I was THRILLED when it was finally over.

SamAnne Wasn‘t a fan either. 2y

It‘s funny how you can be reading a section, like just a long paragraph, and all of a sudden dive in and take a great liking to it, even though it could be nothing but description, for example.

It‘s interesting to me because so much of the time it‘s just based on your mood at that particular moment. Then I‘ll decide I really like it for, it seems, barely any reason.

Anyway, just thought I‘d pop in to say that.

“To him she seemed so beautiful, so seductive, so different from ordinary people, that he could not understand why no one was as disturbed as he by the clicking of her heels on the paving stones, why no one else's heart was wild with the breeze stirred by the sighs of her veils, why everyone did not go mad with the movements of her braid, the flight of her hands, the gold of her laughter...”

Poetic storytelling! An all-time favorite.

I started to read it 4 years ago and then I paused until a few days ago. I am not sure how everyone else felt this book but for me was the beauty of the ugliness. Except one episode that made me cringe, probably those who read felt the same about the relationship between Florentino Ariza and America Vicuna. But, the rest of the book is magical. Not good or bad, only magical. The magic of other times.

I put this book down long time ago & I know now why. Florentino loved Fermina for more than 50 years, can life give them a second chance? I loved how author described life style in different generations and changes in life span using beautiful daily and funny expressions. However, Florentino‘s love for me is obsessive & pathological. Triggers: pedophilia & rape with no remorse but fear to be caught. Unhealthy love-narcissistic personality 3⭐️

Gissy This is my second novel by this author and I think it doesn‘t work for me. In two novels, pedophilia is seen as “normal” expression of love which is not. No remorse exists in those characters. I know this is an uncommon opinion about this book and about this author.

I loved how author described life style in different generations and stages of life, where he used beautiful, daily & funny expressions. However, I see Florentino‘s love as obsessed & pathological. Triggers: pedophilia & rape acts with not remorse but fear to be caught.3⭐️⬇️

marleed Yea, I read this last fall and thought I should get college credit for the accomplishment. Funny that I give a pick because I feel so accomplished even though I know I‘ll never revisit the book. Florentino was a dirtbag in my view, and I was never sure if the author wanted me to have sympathy for him 3y
Gissy @marleed What surprise me about the novel is that persons that love the book, love how Florentino loved Fermina for many years😬They don‘t even think it was not normal.Maybe the problem is that I saw it from a mental health perspective and Florentino has traits of Narcissistic personality plus his behavior correspond with pedophilia.Maybe if author tried to emphasized that, I would liked it more. But everything was “normal”, with tears in his eyes 3y

I planned this as a Sept Bookspin FreeSpace, but come Oct bit by bit I was still reading. I feel college-credit-accomplished in completing this - so many words in chapters that go on forever. I liked it, but I hope I wasn‘t supposed to cheer for Florentino Arizo to get his girl. He had 622 affairs - alright - until he grooms a young girl he sponsors. Not okay, dude.

Lesliereads I first read this book about 30 years ago and was so infatuated with the writing, then. When I re-read it earlier this year I was disgusted by Florentino Ariza and wondered why I had not seen him for what he was, before. 3y
Eva_B @Lesliereads I had exactly the same experience when re reading it years later. Maybe we are both older and wiser now 😊. My favourite Garcia Marquez book is One Hundred Years of Solitude. However, I have not re read it for many years. Might be interesting to see how I feel about it now. 3y
marleed @Lesliereads @Eva2 In addition to my take on Florentino, were multiple references to elderly smelling bad. It kind of broke my heart every time I read that. I‘ve been in the company of many an elderly person and I‘ve never thought their age made them smell bad. I find it interesting when I like a book overall even though there are parts that I viscerally dislike. 3y
BeatrixNBooks To be honest, I hoped from my bottom of my heart that Fermina would find out about America Vicuna. I was a little disappointed about the "happy ending". This was my first time when I wished for not such a happy ending. 3y

“And how long do you think we can keep up this goddamn coming and going?” he asked.
Florentino Ariza had kept his answer ready for fifty-three years, seven months, and eleven days and nights.
“Forever,” he said.
