Oprah's Latest Pick: Love in the Time of Cholera

Continuing her trend of selecting complex, highly literary novels (McCarthy's The Road, Eugenides' Middlesex, etc.) Oprah Winfrey newest book club selection is Love in the Time of Cholera by Nobel laureate Gabriel Garcia Márquez. The novel chronicles a love triangle decades in the making and, like most of the author's works, is set in an unnamed Latin American country. When the book was first released in 1988, the The New York Times review called it "radiant," saying it is both "an old-fashioned love story" and "an anatomy of love in all its forms."
