Industry Reviews
"[A]ggressively sexy...These very entertaining vignettes also cohere into a subtle, striking character study...."
Kirkus Reviews (04/15/2003)
"Cabán may be recent literature's most comical Casanova. And the voice of the hero of this smart, tart novel...has not been lost in Edith Grossman's translation from the Spanish. That's good, because the novel's success depends almost completely on its enticing tone....Cabán's reports don't proceed chronologically but dart from lover to lover....The result of the sexual pastiche is surprisingly funny...."
New York Times Book Review - Lisa Zeidner (06/01/2003)
"Sexual relations in literature are difficult to render; they can sound clinical and cold or just plain silly. One gets a feeling that Montero flipped through some hard-core pornography, selected the most shocking practices and assigned those to her classically trained musicians. Consequently, the content is homoerotic, sadistic and fetish-ridden, with a quirky bit of magic realism occurring après sex....This novel is perhaps too deeply concerned with mastering an instrument, musical or otherwise, at the expense of exploring genuine human connection."
Washington Post Book World - Carolyn S. Briggs (06/15/2003)
