"A cerebral explorer of the problems of narrative in the wake of Joyce and Woolf, of Borges, of Rulfo and Arlt, Saer is also a stunning poet of place."–The Nation

"Juan José Saer must be added to the list of the best South American writers."–Le Monde

"The most striking element of Saer's writing is his prose, at once dynamic and poetic. . . . It is brilliant."–Harvard Review

"Brilliant. . . . Saer's The Sixty-Five Years of Washington captures the wildness of human experience in all its variety."–New York Times

"What Saer presents marvelously is the experience of reality, and the characters' attempts to write their own narratives within its excess."–Bookforum
