Love in the Time of Cholera
July 24, 2009
Melissa Roxas, the Fil-American activist abducted and tortured by still unknown elements was given souvenirs by her torturers. (full story)
Among the souvenirs was a copy of Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s “Love in the Time of Cholera”.
I remember Florentino Ariza. The shadow who loved his crowned goddess, Fermina Daza, from the first time he saw her and waited for 51 years, 9 months and 4 days to claim his beloved.
Is there a Florentino Ariza in this modern time?
Love in the time of Influenza A(H1N1).
