Recenzii
"The
male
characters
in
Manrique’s
latest
[novel]
cross-dress
as
easily
as
they
cross
borders
to
assume
European
and
American
lives
without
fully
eliminating
the
vestiges
of
their
Colombian
backgrounds.
A
young
writer
who
has
left
a
city
in
Colombia
to
seek
his
fortune
in
Madrid,
Barcelona,
and
New
York,
Santiago
Martinez
often
finds
himself
wistful
for
his
hometown,
which
he
remembers
as
a
lush
tropical,
peaceful
paradise
instead
of
the
drug-ridden
and
politically
claustrophobic
society
it
is.
.
.
.
Much
more
than
the
semi-autobiographical
story
the
novel
claims
to
be,
this
boisterous
and
tragic
work
addresses
issues
of
solitude,
exile,
and
self-discovery
with
generous
feeling
and
honest
emotion."—Publishers
