"A real treat."--Jornal de Negócios "With his third novel, João Paulo Cuenca confirms his status as a rising star of Brazilian literature."--Courrier International "The rising star of Brazilian literature is J. P. Cuenca. He has liberated Brazilian literature from its atavistic tendencies and opened up worlds that its writers have never adventured into before."--André Clavel, L'Express "Insightful yet relentless: A novel about Japan that easily matches Haruki Murakami's mastery. Not every author is granted the skill to unveil the cultural code of a foreign world the way Cuenca does."--Marko Martin, Deutschlandradio Kultur "There is one young author I really like: J. P. Cuenca."--Chico Buarque
