Review
"Luisa Valenzuela's affecting short stories—parables, really—are cryptic and poetic. Like many Latin American writers, she produces work that verges on the surreal." New York Times Book Review

Absolutely Delectible!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Censors: A Bilingual Selection of Stories (Paperback)
Each story, each line, almost each word in this book is a perfect little morsel of most delicious imagination, wit, wordplay and everything else that would make a story shine. Some stories are nothing short of Orgasmic - leaving you gasping for breath, making you want to just sit there and smoke a cigarette and let the perfection of the experience fill you with passion for Valenzuela's writing. Buenissimo!
