"Ruy-Sanchez's works of fiction are always amazing: adventure, poetry and intelligence in a new geometry of words... And he is also one of our best essayistes. His writing has nerve and agility, his intelligence is sharp without being cruel, his mood is sympathetic without complaisance or complicity." Octavio Paz "Beautiful and disturbing..., in his books a man slowly explores a woman's universe of mistery and poetry." Raphaelle Rérolle, Le Monde "To better place this narrative all made of transparency and sensuality it is necessary to mention The Daughters of Fire by Gerard de Nerval..." Claude Michel Cluny, Le Figaro Litteraire "To name the air is to make it visible. Alberto Ruy-Sánchez invented not only novels but a new way of reading, the way of poetic lightning stroke." Severo Sarduy "In the books by Alberto Ruy-Sánchez we find again the erotic conviction that allows us to read with all the skin. The erotic, in his narratives is not a subject or a phase, it is the clay of what they are made. In his novels, essays or travel writings, every experience -trivial or extraordinary- breaths through the erotic." Alberto Manguel "From the Sonora desert to the Sahara, from the french Guyana to the urban jungle of Paris or Mexico City, desire travels in Alberto Ruy-Sánchez's books at the speed of dream." Fatima Zohra Larbi, Le matin du Sahara |
