Reviews
A haunting performance and about as perfect a literary work as I ve read in years. Hernandez accomplishes in 100 pages what most novelists only dream of rendering the closeted phlegmatic Julio in all his confounding complexity and in the process creating an unflinching biography of a community, a country and a century. A masterpiece. --Junot Diaz
