Praise for Cesar Aira: ------- 'Aira writes at full tilt, going where the words take him (a style he calls constant flight forward ) so that reading him is dizzying.' Jane Housham, The Guardian ------- 'Once you've started reading Aira, you don't want to stop.' Roberto Bolano ------- 'Aira is firmly in the tradition of Jorge Luis Borges and W. G. Sebald.' - Mark Doty, Los Angeles Times. ------- 'I once met Aira at a writer's conference ... I was so excited at his presence that I bounded his way like a St. Bernard, but once I reached him all I could think to say - channeling my inner Chris Farley - was that he was awesome.' - Patti Smith, The New York Times ------- Praise for The Seamstress and the Wind: ------- 'I ... was quickly seduced by ... The Seamstress and the Wind, which takes place in Coronel Pringles, Argentina, Aira's hometown. It figures he'd come from a place called Pringles, where funny music resounds and nothing ever happens, except everything.' Patti Smith, The New York Times.
