"[She is] the heiress of Latin American literature. She wears an opulent, baroque crown, but her feet are bare." --Carlos Fuentes, "Luisa Valenzuela's affecting short stories-parables, really-are cryptic and poetic. Like many Latin American writers, she produces work that verges on the surreal." New York Times Book Review, "Luisa Valenzuela's affecting short stories--parables, really--are cryptic and poetic. Like many Latin American writers, she produces work that verges on the surreal." New York Times Book Review, "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." -- Voice Literary Supplement, "Luisa Valenzuela's affecting short stories--parables, really--are cryptic and poetic. Like many Latin American writers, she produces work that verges on the surreal." -- New York Times Book Review, "[She is] the heiress of Latin American literature. She wears an opulent, baroque crown, but her feet are bare." --Carlos Fuentes

- n***n (299)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAs described and shipped very quickly. Great job.
- b***c (562)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseBook lacked dustcover (which is okay for "good" but not mentioned in the listing, which showed a dust cover) but had stickers that would not come off on the actual cover of the book (which is not okay). Careless damage that could and should have been avoided. I'd have expected far better for the price. I won't use this seller again.
- u***q (3034)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseDon't you hate it when the seller doesn't leave you positive feedback? Aside from not getting feedback from the seller, the transaction went off without a hitch. Oh well, every transaction won't be ideal!!!
