"Rivero confidently and credibly gives voice to characters in harrowing situations." Publishers Weekly
"These are visceral tales of betrayal both personal and societal, some of which cross over into the realm of the uncanny." Words Without Borders
"An intriguing and discomforting set of stories, each with its own particular bite, and more than a twist or two along the way." Tony's Reading List
************ Praise for Giovanna Rivero
"Stupendous." Latin American Literature Today
"98 Seconds Without Shadow is a masterpiece that grabs readers by the throat and the eyes with the unforgettable, wild, almost feral voice of Genoveva Bravo Genovés." Pagina/12
"I just finished your book. Bravo! I walked with you through that painful journey into the past, into the terrible loneliness of adolescence. I am Genoveva. Clara Luz has been Genoveva, and still bears the scars. We have all been Genoveva, and felt her terrible solitude. Your language hit me like a clublike a flood of letters. Please keep writing!" Geraldine Chaplin
"More than a coming-of-age novel, 98 Seconds Without Shadow reads like unsettling science fictiona vision of a society so corrupt in its business, emotions, and justice, that only horror or blind faith seem able to restore balance. Disturbing and unsparing, the reader is (luckily) left abandoned at the end, forced to find their own way." Revista Ñ
