Customer Reviews

Fun Read

Though I disagree with the San Francisco Chronicle blurb on the back cover "Told with a playful self-consciousness reminiscent of David Foster Wallace....", I did enjoy the book and will read more of Toscana's books. He does not display anywhere near the genius of Wallace, but does require patience in following the plot.

Great reading!

Superb. Subtle, well-sustained, gentle, affecting. Best fiction I've read in a long time.

Moving, rich, totally original novel!

What a thought-provoking, utterly refreshing book. Nice to go beyond magical realism and find this cool and contemporary Mexican writer.

Thoroughly modern Mexican novel

What a funky, quirky, rich and refreshing story. Unlike anything I've read all year. If you or someone you know loves Mexico, and loves a subtle but hilarious story, AND wants to know one of Mexico's most important contemporary writers, buy this book!
