Review Summaries
Source Rating Date Reviewer
Dublin Rev. of Books . 1/5/2017 Alan Crilly


  From the Reviews:
  • "Colanzi’s characters are often under intense psychic pressure and mentally disintegrating in response to societal, familial, or historical pressures. (...) From her wide repertoire of devices, her use of Beckett-like parataxis is particularly effective in turning the psychological screw. (...) In this short book, Colanzi offers an extraordinary density of ideas, transmitted in shape-shifting and affecting prose. The translator, Jessica Sequiera, deserves immense credit for her deft rendering of this complex work." - Alan Crilly, Dublin Review of Books

Please note that these ratings solely represent the complete review's biased interpretation and subjective opinion of the actual reviews and do not claim to accurately reflect or represent the views of the reviewers. Similarly the illustrative quotes chosen here are merely those the complete review subjectively believes represent the tenor and judgment of the review as a whole. We acknowledge (and remind and warn you) that they may, in fact, be entirely unrepresentative of the actual reviews by any other measure.
