Reviews
'...fast-moving, cynical, and witty ... Chandlerian in its steamy narrative, the story is about a country and its people going nowhere very fast indeed ... Set against a backdrop of Argentina in meltdown, it is a strongly atmospheric novel ... Of course, he [Guillermo Orsi] writes like a journalist - immediate, living prose that reads as though it was written yesterday' Bookgroup Info, Paula McMaster. * Bookgroup Info *
'Wonderfully evocative and cynical, it captures Buenos Aires with a delicate precision' Geoffrey Wansell, Daily Mail. * Daily Mail *
'Pungent and atmospheric ... essentially a Chandlerian narrative yanked out of steamy Los Angeles and sutured into equally sweaty Argentinian locales' Barry Forshaw, Independent. * Independent *
'Dazzling' Joan Smith, Sunday Times. * Sunday Times *
