Reviews
"[She is] the heiress of Latin American literature. She wears an opulent, baroque crown, but her feet are bare." --Carlos Fuentes, "Luisa Valenzuela's affecting short stories-parables, really-are cryptic and poetic. Like many Latin American writers, she produces work that verges on the surreal." New York Times Book Review, "Luisa Valenzuela's affecting short stories--parables, really--are cryptic and poetic. Like many Latin American writers, she produces work that verges on the surreal." New York Times Book Review, "Luisa Valenzuela explores the terrain where love and violence, erotic pleasure and death, exist perilously close to each other . . . Valenzuela plays with words, turns them inside out, weaves them into sensuous webs." -- Voice Literary Supplement, "Luisa Valenzuela's affecting short stories--parables, really--are cryptic and poetic. Like many Latin American writers, she produces work that verges on the surreal." -- New York Times Book Review, "[She is] the heiress of Latin American literature. She wears an opulent, baroque crown, but her feet are bare." --Carlos Fuentes

- b***r (56)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseUnfortunately the book I received was in bad shape and was a different edition than was shown in the listing, however, my experience with the seller was excellent! I reached out requesting a refund and very quickly received a very professional and friendly reply and an immediate refund. Based on this experience I would recommend buying from this seller!
- o***z (11)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseMy idea of “good” may have differed from the seller’s, but that’s on me, not them! I got exactly what was advertised and it does meet my needs, so I got value for my money. The seller reached out to me to make sure that I was good with my purchase. They offered a couple of solutions to make it right for me and promptly carried out what we agreed on. They didn’t ask me for a quid pro quo arrangement, they just wanted to ensure that I was happy. I’d definitely do business with them again!Reply from: textbooks_source- Feedback replied to by seller textbooks_source.- Feedback replied to by seller textbooks_source.We are very sorry for the inconvenience!
