Reviews

Ezequiel Alemian: “The uses of language, translation in particular, seem to be at the forefront of Ruiz’s interests. Humor, nonsense, and playfulness are tools he effectively utilizes."

Enrique Aureng Silva: "Filtered and reinterpreted through humor and perspicacity, the thirty-five sections that make up La Caja are set against each other in a textual tension that, although founded on the diversity of tones and formats, ultimately achieves a complex and paradoxical harmony that precisely gravitates on their opposition and contrast."
