Reviews

“Her writing is irreverent, bold, singular and has the capacity to bring us always to the subtle limits that exist between the unusual and the real.”

Margo Glantz

“A voice that knows how to narrate, from a place of tenderness, humor and amazement, the wonderful absurdity of being alive.”

Patricia Esteban Erlés

“Through several voices, that reach us as an echo of distant conversations, Eudave begins to build a reality in which the realms of the ordinary and the unusual superimpose.”

Roberto Pliego / Milenio
