| Editorial Reviews | "Writing in a combustible mix of slang and lyricism, Díaz loops back and forth in time and place, generating sly and lascivious humor in counterpoint to tyranny and sorrow . . . Propelled by compassion, Díaz’s novel is intrepid and radiant." - Booklist Online "Díaz’s reverse family saga, crossed with withering political satire, makes for a compelling, sex-fueled, 21st-century tragi-comedy with a magical twist." - Kirkus Reviews |
