'Surrealism, magic realism, expressionism, alternate-world realism
– Rivera's tortured triange of father, daughter and son-in-law
writhes across the entire map of modern Hispanic literature, in a
beautifully lofty English – unsettling, disturbing, rich with
excitement and hope'
*Village Voice on 'Each Day Dies With Sleep'*
'Shot through with a fierce Baudelairean poetry of decomposition,
Rivera shares with the later Strindberg not only a passion for new
non-material theatrical forms, but also a messianic mission to
replace old and dying creeds with vibrant new visions'
*New Republic on 'Marisol'*
'Rivera backs up his bizarre narrative conceits with real wisdom
about things like love and age and America with a rich and funny
verbal texture'
*Wall Street Journal on 'Cloud Tectonics'*
'A genuine poet of the theatre'
*Chicago Sunday Times*
