“His plots are devilishly clever.”
Matías Néspolo, El Mundo
“The crime novel of the year.”
Juan Carlos Galindo, Babelia (on Cathedrals)
The Time of Flies is the new and long-awaited novel by Claudia Piñeiro, which takes up the story of Inés, the remembered protagonist of Tuya, in a story of courage and friendship that accurately portrays us as a society.
The critic has said:
“Without ceasing to be a thriller, without neglecting the character’s adaptation to new logic, Piñeiro delves into the discomforts of feminism.”
Débora Campos, Clarín
«The challenge of returning to that voice [de Tuya]the debates about feminisms, attacks on the networks and friendship between women, from the perspective of a tireless author.
Agustina Larrea, elDiario
«A story that captures debates and blind spots around femicides, death and motherhood and […] “a book that dialogues with feminisms but also problematizes their diffuse areas.”
Julieta Grosso, Telam
“A great story of courage and friendship.”
Euge Castagnino, Ohlala!
“I adore her. Claudia has become the great reference for women’s rights, with commitment and clarity and wonderful courage and dedication.
Mercedes Morán
«The exercise of thinking about what challenges the old characters who function as archetypes of an era would be exposed to is stimulating. In fact, Piñeiro does it and hits the key of a present that resonates in Inés with questions that irreverently question the idea of being contemporary and absolutely genuine at the same time.
Verónica Boix, La Nación
«It captivated me from beginning to end. […] I read it with great interest. We heartily recommend it: it is fantastic.
Cecilia Laratro, La 990 Radio
«A police story that also talks about love and death and adds certain doses of humor [y que] escapes from what is strictly police.
Mónica López Ocón, Time
«Claudia’s voice is a voice of silk, but of sharp silk.»
What to Read
“Piñeiro started with a rare pearl, Tuya, a tough black police officer, but a woman, who uses the elements of the genre with accelerator: violence, deception, complicated intersections.”
Elvio E. Gandolfo
