Reviews
"Rodrigo Fresán's Melvill don't so much recreate the postmodernism that Boone sees the current crop of Melville-themed books as refuting, as it does adapt it to present circumstances, digging up buried hints in Melville's texts and recasting his life and work in ways that offer a vivifying jostle to the world of contemporary fiction." --The Metropolitan Review "A kaleidoscopic, open-hearted, shamelessly polymathic storyteller, the kind who brings a blast of oxygen into the room." --Jonathan Lethem "Rodrigo Fresán is the new star of Latin American literature. . . . There is darkness in him, but it harbors light within it because his prose--aimed at bygone readers--is brilliant." --Enrique Vila-Matas "I've read few novels this exciting in recent years. Melvill is the novel I've laughed with the most, the one that has seemed the most virtuosic and at the same time the most disruptive." --Roberto Bolaño "Rodrigo Fresán is a marvelous writer, a direct descendant of Adolfo Bioy Casares and Jorge Luis Borges, but with his own voice and of his own time, with a fertile imagination, daring and gifted with a vision as entertaining as it is profound." --John Banville "With pop culture cornered by the forces of screen culture, says Fresán (knowing the risk to his profile of 'pop writer,' even coming out himself to discuss it), there's nothing left but to be classic. That's the only way to keep on writing." --Alan Pauls, "A kaleidoscopic, open-hearted, shamelessly polymathic storyteller, the kind who brings a blast of oxygen into the room." --Jonathan Lethem "Rodrigo Fresán is the new star of Latin American literature. . . .
