Colombia as a city on a river, decaying and magnificent, and two people who waited fifty years to be together. Márquez makes Cartagena so vivid you can smell it — the heat, the flowers, the cholera, the river traffic, the particular quality of light. This is the dispatch that proves place is never just backdrop. The city is the third character. It ages alongside them and outlasts them both.
