–Original ed.: El amor en los tiempos del cólera, Bogotá, Editorial Oveja Negra Ltda., 1985. First Engl. ed.: New York, Alfred A. Knopf, 1988.
A novel of Colombia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Alludes to manatees in the Rio Magdalena "that nursed their young at large maternal teats and startled the [steamboat] passengers with their woman's cries" (142; also 324, 336, 344), and cites a "legend that they were the only females in the animal kingdom that had no mates" (331). Also makes the more plausible assertions that by the 1920s the Rio Magdalena manatees had been "annihilated by the armored bullets of hunters for sport ... despite the laws prohibiting it" (331, 337), and that an orphaned manatee, "the last of its kind seen along the river", lived for years in a zoo at San Nicolás de las Barrancas (332).
