"A marvel."
*Will Noah - 4Columns*
"A provocative, meticulous novel that’s both utterly repulsive and
morbidly fascinating."
*Booklist*
"Elegant prose."
*Publisher Weekly*
"The Desert and Its Seed chronicles the aftermath of an attack
identical to the one that Baron Biza's father perpetrated against
his mother. Baron Biza maintains [a] mixture of unflinching
scrutiny and cool lyricism through the novel. It feels strikingly
of the moment, as a resurgent feminist movement draws attention to
the wide scope of misogyny."
*Alejandro Chacoff - The New Yorker*
"An emotionally (and physically) harrowing account of isolation,
violence, and hypocrisy."
*Tobias Carroll - Words Without Borders*
"A cult masterpiece. The author has been compared to Joyce and
Proust."
*Enrique Vila-Matas*
"Grips and perturbs the reader simultaneously."
*Les Monde des Livres*
"A great novel."
*Alejandro Zambra*
"A sublime explosion that results from an unpredictable art."
*El Pais*
"An Argentinian masterpiece."
*La Stampa*
