| Why it’s on the list | García Márquez’s 1985 novel in which Florentino Ariza waits half a century for Fermina Daza, who married someone else — usually described as a love story, and at least as much an argument about whether fifty years of devotion is fidelity or a form of illness. |
Love in the Time of Cholera
Where I heard about it
- The a16z infrastructure team — on the a16z Infra Reading List, in the Fantasy section, third of five under García Márquez’s selected works. The team’s note on him is about method rather than plot: impossible events — levitating priests, rain that lasts years, an insomnia plague — folded into everyday life without comment.
About this edition
El amor en los tiempos del cólera, 1985, translated by Edith Grossman in 1988. When Fermina’s husband dies, Florentino is still waiting; the title keeps both readings deliberately available.
