Reviews

“One of the most brilliant literary frescos of recent Spain, a modern bonfire of the vanities in which politics, the institution of art, and the judiciary reveal their baseness and their ineptitude… Tallón has written a ‘total’ novel. Funny, tragic, forceful”.
Carlos Pardo, Babelia

“Has all the ingredients to become one of the great reads of this year”.
Carolina Wernwe, Publishers Weekly en español

“Lives up to the promise of the title: a masterpiece. Specifically,
a masterpiece of factual literature in Spain”.
Miqui Otero, El Periódico

“The best: the perfect narrative combination of reportage and literary style… The result is intelligent and thought-provoking”.
Jesús Ferrer, La Razón
