A bachelor chooses to treat himself to a wild night of love with a virgin on the eve of his ninetieth birthday. As is his custom—he has bought hundreds of women—he approaches a madam and requests her help. The girl, who is fourteen years old, is charming, but she is so worn out from taking care of her siblings and her sewing work that all she can do is sleep. Nevertheless, it is he who wakes to a romance he has never experienced with this sleeping beauty by his side.
Memories of My Melancholy Whores is a masterful contribution to the master's work—tender, perceptive, and subtly humorous.
