Sufferings of Love/ Garcia Marquez
The young doctor was disappointed: he had never had the opportunity to study the effects of gold cyanide on a cadaver. Dr. Juvenal Urbino had been surprised that he had not seen him at the Medical School, but he understood in an instant from the young man’s easy blush and Andean accent that he was probably a recent arrival in the city. He said:
“There is bound to be someone driven mad by love who will give you the chance one of these days.”
And only after he said it, he realized that among the countless suicides he could remember, this was the first with cyanide that had not been caused by the sufferings of love. Then something changed in the tone of his voice.
“And when you do find one, observe with care,” he said to the intern: “they almost always have crystals in their heart.”
New Publications
I have been so busy it has been several weeks since I posted something on my blog. I finished the new book in Spanish, Carmela y Pepe. As you can see in the picture, I have not published it. The picture shows a book proof, which cannot be sold. I decided to provide book copies only to my relatives. I have also finished the Spanish translation of “The Monarch’s Flight.” The novel tells the story of a married, illegal Mexican immigrant whose plans are disrupted when he falls madly in love with another woman..
