Explores the sense of emotional exile that sexual passion can evoke. This is the author's fourth book to be translated into English-the others are "The Ship of Fools", "A Forbidden Passion", and "Dostoevsky's Last Night". It showcases the mesmerisingly rhythmic language that has become the trademark of this award-winning and prolific author.
"A truly original work. Cristina Peri Rossi masterfully orchestrates an alternate and highly intelligent exploration of erotica. Her fabulous writing wittily imbalances the delicate inner linguistic structure of love. Slowly dissecting sexuality, it offers itself at the end of this inner trip as the only linguistic truth: love is a solitary, organic game."--Teresa M. Vilaros, author of "El mono del desencanto"
