Su questo libro

Recensione:

Luisa Valenzuela explores the terrain where love and violence, erotic pleasure and death, exist perilously close to each other... Valenzuela plays with words, turns them inside out, weaves them into sensuous webs (Village Voice)

Luisa Valenzuela's books reflect our present, but they also contain much of our future: there is true light, true love, true freedom in every one of her pages (Julio Cort?zar)

Luisa Valenzuela is the heiress of Latin American fiction. She wears an opulent, baroque crown, but her feet are naked (Carlos Fuentes)

L'autore:
