Love in the Time of Cholera
Florentino Ariza has waited fifty-one years, nine months and four days for Fermina Daza, filling the interval with six hundred and twenty-two affairs he records in a ledger, while she has spent them married to the doctor who brought sanitation to the river city. The husband dies chasing a parrot out of a mango tree, and the old telegraph clerk presents his vow again. Love handled as an illness.
