Reviews
Cristoff is far from being just another writer. She is, on the contrary, a magnificent example of a chronicler-essayist narrator: a unique species of those who are possibly on the way to extinction. --Alejandra Costamagna Outstanding, fun, insightful. --Neue Zrcher Zeitung A brilliant journalistic investigation. --Denis Scheck, ARD Tagesthemen Captivating, intelligent, where the silent strength reaches beyond the real at hand. --Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung A marvelous book with literary reportage, possibly one of the best books to come of the hundreds of new translations from Argentinean literature. --Sddeutsche Zeitung Impressive literary quality. A profoundly disquieting image of the Argentinean Patagonia and beyond. --Monika Thees, Die Berliner Literaturkritik
Style is perfectly suited to subject; Cristoff travels in a land where real meets surreal and curses, superstition, myth, and mysticism are woven into the fabric of everyday life. --Kirkus Reviews Personal memoir, travelogue, and history combine in Mari a Sonia Cristoff's False Calm, a journey that peels back the layers of the ghostly fog blanketing Patagonia to reveal engrossing complexity. --Foreword Reviews/p> Cristoff is far from being just another writer.
