Oprah Winfrey’s Latest Selection

December 1, 2007

Gabriel García Marquez’s Love in the Time of Cholera is Winfrey’s latest book club selection. This is the second time she has chosen Marquez; his One Hundred Years of Solitude was a book club selection in 2004. About her latest selection, the New York Times has reported Winfrey as saying, “It is so beautifully written that it really takes you to another place in time and will make you ask yourself how long could you or would you wait for love.” A film adaptation of this book will be released soon. It is directed by Mike Newell and stars Javier Bardem and Benjamin Bratt. Winfrey hopes that her viewers will read the book before seeing the movie. It is the story of a woman and two men in 1985 and an unrequited love that spans fifty years.
