Braschi’s book comes right on time, two months before the US presidential election in which voters have a chance to retire Trump forever, and here the Puerto Rican poet is at her brilliant peak, bringing us a mind-bending and form-shattering literary experience.

“This powerful, funny, profound, wise, crazed book is a wild ride. It is a bomb (a poem?, a novel?, a play?, fiction? essay?, comedy?, drama? all of the above?). I laughed to tears here and there while the book displays one of the cruelest portraits of our times. Bravo, Giannina!”—Carmen Boullosa, award-winning poet, novelist, and playwright
