“Almada depicts scenes of sex, violence, and rage with rawness. I feel her prose in my body: a punch in the stomach, like the sharp sensation of glass.” – Morgan Graham, Chicago Review of Books
“Almada reveals the violent impulses that surface in rural Argentina. With sharp and rough writing, which gradually softens throughout the narrative, the author leads the reader into a reality where pain, betrayal, and fear become everyday life in her country’s rural world.” – Ariane Singer, Le Monde
“Almada explores a broken place, south of Juan Rulfo and Faulkner, and does so with spare prose, with minimal stylistic embellishments and a neutral, almost indifferent tone. Her fiction, the story she tells, is wild and harsh.” – Alberto Gordo, El Cultural
