Wonderful early review for Juan Villoro's THE REEF, published this May! https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/juan-villoro/the-reef-villoro/

A powerful morality tale with laughs.

"Villoro’s writing, translated into English, is almost George Saundersesque: disarming, critical, and hilarious all at the same time. His writing is fueled mainly by the absurdity of the interpersonal, which largely decenters some of the macro things that an American audience might fetishize (the war on drugs, immigration, etc.), though those things are there too. The fact that The Guilty has been translated to English at all only adds to that decentering of the single story that American audiences have come to know about Mexico."

Congratulations to Allison Gruber for being a LAMBDA finalist! http://www.lambdaliterary.org/reviews/01/12/youre-not-edith-by-allison-gruber/

If the autobiographical essays in You’re Not Edith are any indication, Allison Gruber has a surprisingly functional (not to mention intimate) relationship with all things strange and eccentric. ***an

"Magical realism is fun, but someone still has to clean up afterwards. Villoro’s stories, always beleaguered but never brooding, sift soberly through the debris and extract an earthbound, workaday kind of enchantment."
