Trade Review
"César Aira is an amazing writer whose works, of rare genius, are passed on as a secret among an ever-widening sect of enthusiasts." -- Josep Massot - La Vanguardia
"Never tedious, always thoughtful, Aira’s prose moves with great agility and effortless depth." -- Publishers Weekly
"Aira’s stories seem like fragments of an infinite and interconnected universe in constant expansion." -- Patti Smith
"Aira departs from his frequent setting of contemporary Argentina for a playful and fantastical jaunt into ancient history." -- Publishers Weekly
