Recenzii
"In
a
style
that
combines
poetic
nuances
with
humorous
touches,
Marzán
adds
a
new
dimension
to
our
understanding
of
what
it
is
to
be
a
Latino
today.
The
'Bonjour
gene'
he
evokes
is
a
positive
gene,
a
gene
on
the
verge
of
a
new
day."—Rosario
Ferré,

of
The
House
on
the
Lagoon
“In
The
Bonjour
Gene,
poet
and
word
man
Julio
Marzán
displays
the
kind
of
wit
and
intellectual
verve
rarely
seen
in
contemporary
literature.With
every
well-crafted
line
and
insight
(about
the
mercurial
nature
of
family
life
and
identity)
accumulating
to
wonderful
effect,
this
is
a
book
that
will
surely
entertain
and
enlighten
its
readers.”—Oscar
