Publisher Review

"Glantz's writing is raw and vulnerable, much like the women she writes about. This complex portrait of all-consuming desire is tough to shake." -Publishers Weekly "Apparitions is short, complex, unusual and abounding in breathtaking descriptions: reading it exposes us to an almost mortal risk." -Monica Mansour "Margo Glantz has constructed a powerful and ambiguous novel." -Rocio Silva-Santisteban "I believe that with this book Glantz has renewed the genre (...). She has recovered the pristine nakedness of the body and the energy of its most secret drives." -Augusto Roa Bastos , author of I THE SUPREME "A bold and unclassifiable novel that combines audacity with a traditional vision of relationships, not only sexual, between men and women, involving both the mystical tradition and the author's interest in the figure of Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz." -Publishers Weekly "Glantz writes about and from the body, exploring through words the limits of meaning to make literature the deepest of joys." -El Mundo "Margo Glantz uses the model of the erotic novel to subvert it with an existential component, and dialogues across time with Pasolini, Kawabata and Bataille." -infoLibre "Inspired by the erotic tradition of mysticism, Margo Glantz explores the limits of the female body; between the dark and the profane, the beautiful and the disturbing (...) The novel (...) is always accompanied by music, which turns the writing into a marvellous score." -La Vanguardia "An icon in Latin American literature and feminism, few things seem to hold back the Mexican writer Margo Glantz. " -El Espanol
