Review
"[Memory of Fire] will reveal to you the meaning of the New World as it was, and of the world as we have it now."
― Boston Globe
"A book as fascinating as the history it relates.... Galeano is a satirist, realist, and historian, and... deserves mention alongside John Dos Passos, Bernard DeVoto, and Gabriel Garcia Marquez."
― Los Angeles Times
"Memory of Fire is devastating, triumphant... sure to scorch the sensibility of English-language readers."
― New York Times
"An epic work of literary creation... there could be no greater vindication of the wonders of the lands and people of Latin America than Memory of Fire."
