It is a fairy tale for the aged a story that celebrates the belated discovery of amorous passion in old age. This enticingly sensual yet innocent adventure tells of an unnamed second-rate reporter who, on the eve of his 90th birthday, decides to give himself 'a night of mad love with a virgin adolescent'. In a little more than 100 pages, Garc a M rquez proceeds to describe a series of hypnotising and disturbing encounters. When the aged man first sees the chosen girl a shy 14-year-old, whom he calls Delgadina asleep, entirely naked, in the brothel room, his life begins to change completely. They learn nothing of each other. But her presence spurs the pensioner to recall his experiences with the other women in his life, all whores by profession, all paid to perform for him the acts of love. But now he realises that 'sex is the consolation one has for not finding enough love'
