Book "When I" by Zara Babayan

The novella "Memoirs of My Sad Whores" tells the story of a ninety-year-old old man who decides to "honor" his ninetieth birthday with the company of a fourteen-year-old girl. The "extraordinary" relationship between the old man and the girl, which lasts about a year, makes the latter recall the past, the profession of a columnist, and, of course, the old habit of visiting prostitutes, and the sudden feeling comes to convince him that love has no age, hour and time, love does not pass with passion, but can be expressed in the form of tenderness, silence and admiration. With this work, Marquez moves away from political subtext and magical realism, weaving an extremely romantic, quite touching and beautiful love story.
