tale in writing as stunning as the flourish of a matador's cape. A brave
work told brilliantly. I toss you carnations, Cristina. Brava!" --Sandra Cisneros
"Skilled, sensuous and wry." -"Kirkus"
"The sultry atmosphere, dash of the supernatural, and well-developed characters are a winning mix, and the story's many parts move with frictionless ease." --"Publishers Weekly"
"Garcia strides and twirls with a matador's daring, grace, and focus as she enters the psyches of diverse, intense, and unnerving characters; choreographs converging and dramatic story lines; and confronts the pervasiveness of the inexplicable. Streamlined, sexy, darkly witty, and succinctly tragic, Garcia's fifth sharply imagined novel of caustic social critique concentrates the horrors of oppression and violence into a compulsively readable tale of coiled fury and penetrating insight." --"Booklist "(starred review)
"In this novel of many hearts and voices, Cristina Garcia enchants us with the lyricism and humor and political engagement that we've come to expect from her work. Thank goodness the Lady matador has opened her extraordinarily fascinating hotel to all of us via Cristina's keen eye and gorgeous prose."
--Edwidge Danticat, author of "The Dew Breaker"
"The novel has the energy of an obsessive tango. Or, indeed, a bullfight."
"--The New York Times Book Review"
"Garcia's amazing is to depict psychologically complicated characters against the backdrop of a complicated society....Garcia is at the height of her imaginative powers, and "The Lady Matador's Hotel" is a tour de force, at once hopeful and hopeless." -"Ms. "Magazine
