Review: I loved these essays. Stavans is sharp, intelligent, uncompromising. His views on Cantinflas and Subcomandante Marcos are through-provoking and his piece on Sandra Cisneros finally placed her in the right perspective. A wonderful read!

Review: Stavans is a wonderful commentator of Latin American civilization. He is sharp, urbane, erudite. I love his style. I think it is even tender.
