Trade Review
"Dense, unpredictable confections delivered in a plain, stealthily lyrical style capable of accommodating his fondness for mixing metaphysics, realism, pulp fiction, and Dadaist incongruities." -- Michael Greenberg "Aira is one of the most provocative and idiosyncratic novelists working in Spanish today, and should not be missed." -- Natasha Wimmer
