Collapsed to all fours, pupils dilated, pools of saliva dripping from my open jaw, yapping, yapping, yapping about how much I love this absolute work of art.

A unique and vividly modernist network of stories.

As much a review on In and Of Itself. Beautiful storytelling in both. Hard to describe.

¿Cómo hablar de los mundos de maravilla que crea Cărtărescu en unas pocas páginas? Acaso esto sea lo más difícil: crear un todo en un breve espacio. Sus mundos son íntimos, mentales, sin fronteras; esto es: laberínticos, alucinados, espejos. Sus retratos de infancia y adolescencia, mis favoritos, son genuinos, cosmos.

Una de las lecturas más fascinantes de este año.
