"resurrection of the body"

[pynchonoid]

... in his review of Garcia Marquez' _Love in the Time
of Cholera_:

[...] This novel is also revolutionary in daring to
suggest that vows of love made under a presumption of
immortality -- youthful idiocy, to some -- may yet be
honored, much later in life when we ought to know
better, in the face of the undeniable. This is,
effectively, to assert the resurrection of the body,
today as throughout history an unavoidably
revolutionary idea. Through the ever-subversive medium
of fiction, García Márquez shows us how it could all
plausibly come about, even -- wild hope -- for
somebody out here, outside a book, even as inevitably
beaten at, bought and resold as we all must have
become if only through years of simple residence in
the injuring and corruptive world. [...]

It's also in _Mason & Dixon_.
