And why was there so much casual racism and bigoted language throughout the book? It was physically painful in a book that otherwise had a gripping prose (but was problematic, I smell misogyny).Â
I donât want to rate this because I feel so conflicted.Â

Does a protagonist need to be likeable? No. If something is in a book is it condoning? No.Â
I can acknowledge these truths and that Marquez is an extremely talented writer with a solid grasp on craft while also greatly disliking my experience in reading this book.
Itâs the casual racism, the kind of dangerous portrayal on rape and how there are at least 3 victims who yearn for their perpetrator and âactually enjoyed itâÂ
This book absolutely lost me though at the final ârelationshipâ I hate to even call it that. Im not going to rant about how that situation was disgusting.Â
Maybe Iâll try another of his works but it probably wonât be for a long while.
