Recensione
"Wit and pure fancy. . . The premise is that artists, who are viewed as "minuscule parodies" of God the Creator, are possessed by the devil. Perhaps so are writers -- Rios anyway. He delights in phosphorescent visions and in imagery that ranges from drunken Barbie dolls to mud-covered cannibals to minotaurs with phallic horns. . . Monstruary is like a random sampling of events in an intensely exciting if improbable life. The novel also perpetually transforms itself -- making of [the hero's] existence a text that, while occasionally off the wall, can also be riveting and lushly poetic." -- Nicholas Fox Weber, New York Times
"Rios is one of the most original writers in Europe today. . . He comes from the literary tradition that produced Finnegan's Wake and the novels of Arno Schmidt, Vladimir Nabokov, and Italo Calvino. . . [But] he has been creating an island in the universe of literature that is uniquely his own. . . Monstruary is an opportune place to being reading him." -- Thomas McGonigle, Los Angeles Times
"He must be the most pun-map novelist since Joyce." -- Michael Dirda, Washington Post
"He is an authentic enchanter. . . making a name for himself as a contemporary equivalent of Joyce and Nabokov. . . [Monstruary is] so much fun to read that you may not notice how inventive and suggestive it is." -- Kirkus Reviews
"Impressively translated by Edith Grossman." -- New York Times Book Review
