Review: "ŬA¨ dazzling display of erudition and linguistic pyrotechnics." --"Booklist"

"[I]t's easy to see why Rios has been acclaimed the most sheerly dazzling of Spain's living writers." --Washington Post Book World
"Another pun-derful literary extravaganza from the brilliant Spaniard making a name for himself as a contemporary equivalent of Joyce, Nabakov, and German Experimentalist Arno Schmidt. So much fun to read that you may not notice how remarkably inventive and suggestive it is. Rios is an authentic enchanter." --Kirkus Reviews
"[A] dazzling display of erudition and linguistic pyrotechnics." --Booklist
