“A novel in which the comics of Marvel, the detective novel, the onomatopoeias of Bukowski, [and] the uproarious universe of Douglas Adams . . . bubble like a cauldron full of Pop Rocks.” —David Moran, ABC

“Adventure, humor, ingenuity, hard-boiled, the brashness of indie cinema, and a healthy irreverence. As soon as you read [Laura Fernandez] you don’t understand how you could be without her. To read her produces the same euphoria as reading Douglas Adams or Vonnegut.” —Javier Calvo, author of Wonderful World

“A novel with an abundance of characters, metaliterary subplots, and detectivesque business is, by definition, a Roberto Bolano novel. And a novel with the aforementioned elements with a good dash of humor added is, from now on, a Laura Fernandez novel.” —La Vanguardia

“Surreal and psychedelic, . . . a wink to the grotesque ambience of Almodovar and to the nerd and underground culture of comics . . . A hymn to freedom and to the power of imagination.” —La Repubblica

“A novel with a remarkable power to surprise through its microworlds, in a Barcelona that resembles LA. Better than Ghost World. Someone has to take this to the screen.” —Agustin Fernandez Mallo, author of Nocilla Dream
