Reviews

Gonzalo León: “Riva distances herself from the novels and books of short stories that have dealt with the conurbano as if Argentine social realism were the representation of a single world.”

Tamara Tenembaum: "A mature and seasoned book, where a writer's voice is not insinuated: it is precise, with strong roots and a clear future."

Silvina Giaganti: "The big question surrounding these stories is about territories, real or symbolic, that slippery sand on which the characters live, balancing as best they can."

Felipe Fernandez: "A stylistic austerity prevails that foregrounds the stories and psychologies of the characters."
