Dusting Off the Classics Book Group-- Love in the Time of Cholera In-Person / Online
Join us for “Dusting Off the Classics” with facilitator Christopher Proctor. We will be meeting in the auditorium at the lower level of the library, or you may join us virtually. This month's selection is Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
In their youth, Florentino Ariza and Fermina Daza fall passionately in love. When Fermina eventually chooses to marry a wealthy, well-born doctor, Florentino is heartbroken, but he is a romantic. As he rises in his business career he whiles away the years in 622 affairs—yet he reserves his heart for Fermina. Her husband dies at last, and Florentino purposefully attends the funeral. Fifty years, nine months, and four days after he first declared his love for Fermina, he will do so again.
Come pick up a copy at the library, or check it out virtually on OverDrive.
Christopher Proctor is an academic librarian and faculty member at Indiana University Southeast Library.
