Editorial Reviews

Review

"“Wonderfully youthful, poetically miraculous, The Cardboard House is the most representative ― and the best ― of the Latin American avant garde of the 1920s.”"
― César Aira

"“This book is profoundly realist, but it is not a reproduction of exterior reality;it is rather the poetic, sensorial, intuitive, non-rational testimony of this reality.”"
― Mario Vargas Llosa

"“I dreamt I was sixteen and Martín Adán was giving me piano lessons. The old man’s fingers, long as the Amazing Rubber Man’s, plunged through the floor and played a chain of underground volcanoes.”"
― Roberto Bolano

About the Author

Katherine Silver's award-winning translations include works by María Sonia Cristoff, Daniel Sada, César Aira, Julio Cortázar, Juan Carlos Onetti, and Julio Ramón Ribeyro. The author of Echo Under Story, she does volunteer interpreting for asylum seekers.
