Review

" `Vidas en vilo es Life on the Hyphen, pero más triste´, . `Más que una traducción es una melancolización´". -- Entrevista con Olga Connor. Artes y Letras. El Nuevo Herald, Miami, Florida, noviembre, 2000.

"... logra dar fe de la contribución que cubanoamericanos con talento han hecho y están haciendo a la cultura popular estadounidense". -- Tony Évora. Encuentro de la cultura cubana, nº 20.

"Pérez Firmat es para la crítica lo que Cabrera Infante para la literatura... será un clásico de los estudios cubanos...". -- Roberto González Echevarría. Yale University, 2000
