Gabriela Cabezón Cámara’s writing is singular in the Spanish language: an intrepid pulse that shakes and disarms us in the face of the wordless power, both formidable and innocent, of the jungle and the creatures it portrays
Fernanda Melchor
So sharp, so urgent, so brave. Gabriela Cabezón Cámara is one of the most authentic voices writing in Spanish today, and among her many talents is one that's especially hard to find: not only does she challenge and incite us, not only does she confront the darkness, but she also gives us in return the subversive courage to think of ourselves as more human, more alive, and more luminous than ever
Samanta Schweblin
This is the truth of Gabriela Cabezón Cámara's literature: it's capable of questioning the very conception of the Western world through beauty.
Brenda Navarro
"Cabezón Cámara’s entrancing poetry reminds us how magical and frankly unpleasant it is to live through history
New York Times
Myers translates Cámara’s lyrical prose to gorgeous effect, turning even the most brutal of Antonio’s adventures into a beautiful reading experience... transformative writing—for character and reader alike
The Rumpus
Polyphonic... A seamless, fever-dreamy exposé of inhumane colonialism, religiosity, and genocide
Booklist
Sensuous and searing—a queer anticolonial picaresque
Publishers Weekly
At the same time futuristic and ancestral. Its luminous prose pulses several times to moments of absolute radiance
World Literature Today
Profoundly resonant with our current moment … Offers a searing critique of modernity’s colonial echoes: a resurgence of far-right ideology, cultural erasure, and gender-based oppression ... A story that is not only inclusive but also redemptive—anchored in the richness of language, the beauty of the natural world, and the power of storytelling to reclaim what history tries to erase
Chicago Review of Books
A bold and compassionate reimagining of an extraordinary queer life
Financial Times, *Summer Reads of 2025*
