The Forgery

- Reviews -

"Ave Barrera eases us into this microcosmos as strange and shocking as it is true, constructing powerful atmospheres imbued with very varied sensations, ranging from dreamlike hallucinations to terror, horror and beauty. " -El Pais"We must pay serious attention to the work of Ave Barrera. "" -Cristina Rivera Garza, author of NO ONE WILL SEE ME CRY"The plot flows in an intelligent and audacious way: It surprises by the simplicity and malice in which complex technical aspects are solved. "" -Geney Beltran Felix"A fun and entertaining story of a great literary quality. " -Milenio"Delightfully written, full of revelations . . . Such a literary discovery. " -Radio 3 (RTVE)
