Critics Review
‘Laura Vazquez brings a breath of fresh air to literature. This book is unique, poetic, and radical — witty and so beautiful it brings tears to your eyes’ * Édouard Louis *
‘Shattering, ethereal, stupefying’ * Libération *
‘Laura Vazquez delves into the depths of our anxieties, guided only by a language that comes from the depths of the body. Her words are like muscles, holding the sentence together, making it mobile, explosive and extraordinarily accurate’ * Le Monde *
