1.0 out of 5 stars
Aburrida, July 12, 2002
This review is from: La materia del deseo (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
¿Habrá alguna especie de genio maligno que fuerza a los escritores latinoamericanos a escribir novelas densas, auto-compadecientes y pretensiosas, en las que pasa todo y nada, de final abierto, introspección constante, superficial e insoportable, etc?
Si hay tal genio, lamentablemente actuó a pleno con el señor Paz Soldán. La cereza del helado: un 20% de los diálogos tiene inserciones en inglés, sin traducir, lo cual, más que novedoso, polémico o clasista, es esnob e irritativo.
La próxima vez, Señor Soldán, cuénteme una historia. No trate de hacer un tratado sobre política boliviana contemporánea, psicología, análisis literiario, aculturación y la mar en coche todo en un mismo libro.

Many words for the father, so few for Ashley, April 23, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: La materia del deseo (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
This book is good. But the search of Pedro by the truth on his father makes somewhat tedious to read. Nevertheless their sentimental problems with Ashley and Carolina, allow you to follow with the curiosity necessary to finish the book.
