Critics Review
I am such a fan of the legendary Camila Sosa Villada – her humor, her intelligence, her range. Nuanced, seductive, and profound, A Domestication points to deeper questions about the desires lying beneath our own performances of tenderness and indifference – Justin Torres, National Book Award-winning author of Blackouts
Elegant, witty, cruel and delicious, A Domestication is thrilling to read - an amazing performance where the petty annoyance of everyday life competes with macho violence and female malevolence. Like all the great divas, Sosa Villada’s narrator knows and feels it all. – Chris Kraus, author of The Four Spent the Day Together
