Laura Restrepo is one of the finest Latin American authors of our day, and her books have been translated into more than a dozen languages.
" "Delirium" is one of the finest novels written in recent memory. Laura Restrepo has a total mastery over what she writes, an astonishing but absolute mastery. Yes, there's violence, narcotraffic, madness, perhaps even love itself as a form of total madness. The important thing is that we're talking about a truly great novel, of a kind you seldom encounter anymore."
-- Jose Saramago
" Laura Restrepo breathes life into a singular amalgam of journalistic investigation and literary creation. Her fascination with popular culture and the play of her impeccable humor . . . save her novels from any temptation toward pathos or melodrama, and infuse them with unmistakable reading pleasures."
-- Gabriel Garci a Ma rquez
" Laura Restrepo' s "Delirium" has an aesthetic distinction worthy of her precursors Garci a Ma rquez and Saramago. Like them, her narrative sense of erotic derangement is elaborately nuanced. Ultimately she seems to me an authentic descendent of the greatest New World author and seer of eros, Walt Whitman."
-- Harold Bloom
" This beautiful and disturbing book haunted me during the days I read it and long after I put it down. Love, unknowability, loss, and even various forms of gain elide from one to another of its passionate, unnerving voices."
-- Vikram Seth
