Reviews

‘Alarcon, who is not yet 30, writes with tremendous humanity and vivid fluidity. Alarcon's greatest achievement is to explore the personal consequences of a shrinking world with the same sensitivity and intensity as he considers the established horrors of history’ Glasgow Herald
‘A luminous beginning, crackling with attitude’ Observer
'Alarcon has created a vital, haunting and poignant portrait of his country and its people.' Metro
'It was bound to happen: the great new Latin American voice writes in English. Daniel Alarcón's surprising and adrenaline-filled short stories not only put him immediately on the map, it turns the damn map upside down.'
Alberto Fuguet
