A most original and funny approach to Lazarillo de Tormes, one of Spain's most beloved novels. An intriguing book, at the intersection of classic and contemporary forms of literature, literary history, creative writing, translation, and literary scholarship. -- Reyes Coll-Tellechea, Professor of Latin American and Iberian Studies, University of Massachusetts Boston Enriqueta Zafra and Jesus Mora have not only created a delightfully modern retelling of Lazarillo de Tormes, but they have also built into it a wonderful metaliterary discussion of both the history of the book itself and its critical reception. -- Bruce R. Burningham, Chair of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures, Illinois State University, and author of <em>Tilting Cervantes: Baroque Reflections on Postmodern Culture</em> Enriqueta Zafra's whimsical interpretation of Lazarillo de Tormes imaginatively reconstructs a hybrid world of historical and no less vital literary characters who spring in full colour from the pen of the talented artist, Jesus Mora. In its graphic form, this translation of the first Spanish picaresque novel takes on a life of its own, drawing the reader/viewer into the text's censored and uncensored versions through the centuries. -- Anne J. Cruz, Professor Emerita of Spanish and Cooper Fellow in the Humanities, University of Miami
