Montage of Carlos Fuentes, Luisa Valenzuela, and previous prize-winners.




"Luisa Valenzuela is the heiress of Latin American fiction. She wears an opulent, baroque crown, but her feet are naked."
— Carlos Fuentes, author, Aura, The Old Gringo


"Luisa Valenzuela's books are our present, but they also contain much of our future."
— Julio Cortazar, author, Hopscotch


"Before Kathy Acker, before Patti Smith, before Angela Carter, there was & still is Luisa Valenzuela. Deathcats is a prescient fever dream against the new millennium, a take no prisoners satire, a sardonic after midnight liturgy."
— Richard Nash, former publishing editor, Soft Skull


"Valenzuela's work is not precious. Jonathan Tittler's translation is syntactically beautiful and las palabras se contruyen para devestar...."
— Amy Temple Harper, author, Cramped Uptown
