4.0 out of 5 stars sinceridad pura, May 28, 2001
By A Customer
El libro se trata de una mujer cubana buscando forma de vivir los frutos de la herencia de una revolucion al que ella nunca pertenecio. Encuentra solamente promesas vacias y una vida llena de nada. No hay diferencia entre vivir y sobrevivir. Quizas gente consiga su escritura ofensiva porque no esconde ningun detalle en sus descripciones, pero estas descripciones son necesarias. El libro no tendria la fuerza que tiene sin el famoso capitulo ocho. En pocas paginas llega a explicar tanto lo social como lo personal para una ciudadana cubana durante el periodo especial con el sabor de escritor exiliado. Perfecto para cualquiera que quiera aprender algo sobre el sentimiento de alguien que vivio la Cuba despues de que se acabaron todos los suenos revolucionarios y lo unico que sobro fue una isla a la deriva. El final deja a uno con sentimientos incompletos, pero cualquiera que sepa algo de literatura va a captar que esta es la mision de la autora. No habia final al tunel en que Cuba se encontraba en esa epoca. El libro es una joya para literatura moderna latinoamericana.

4.0 out of 5 stars Modern eroticism, November 8, 2001
By 
Zoé Valdés' book gives a new perspective of the erotic workings in a woman's mind. She fuses the harsh political and cultural reality of modern Cuba, with a realm of characters both endearing and pathetic. Each character has a stereotypical nickname, "el nihilista", etc. I love the language, raw, crude and downright gross at times. Valdés' is not afraid to spell out sex, in a way women in latinamerica are normally censured for. The story is short and entertaining. In fact I gave it to a friend that says he hates reading, and he told me he couldn't put it down until he finished the last page. I foresee Valdés' rise as one of the new voices of the post=modernist female literature genre.

4.0 out of 5 stars Me puso a pensar en las musaranas, June 13, 1999
By A Customer
Libro cubano que mas me ha impactado por su brutal sinceridad y triste ironia. La protagonista usa el amor y sus hazanas como matahambre contra un sistema economico obviamente fracasado. En su cuento, por primera vez en los ultimos cuarenta anos cubanos, se hace realidad el "uno para todos y todos para uno" en este cuento grato de tres mosqueteros bajo una mosquitera llena de huecos. Es cierto que pierde energia al final, como todo un amante ligero.
