The Jury said:
“A tough and dangerous novel but also full of tenderness. […] “I find his portrait of basic instincts fascinating.”
Moon Michael
«Provocative. […] I think it will generate a lot of debate. […] The language that Leticia Martin has chosen is precise and restrained.
Angels Gonzalez-Sinde
«Tense, symbolic at times, questioning and agile, Vladimir It is, among many other things, a rereading of Lolita other way round”.
Clara Obligado
“A very brave novel, because it talks about something that has to do with taking advantage of others, with power relations and, in this case, with what happens when it is a woman who exercises them.”
Good night
«Vladimir I was struck by the tension and eroticism. It is very difficult to narrate desire and sex, and Leticia has done it in an incredibly effective way. […] It reminded me of some of the great short novels that have been written in Spanish recently: Eat dirt by Dolores Reyes, Clean by Alia Trabucco Zerán o One Love by Sara Mesa[…]. It is also impossible not to think about The southern highway “from Cortázar, from the novels of Silvina Ocampo or from the films of Lucrecia Martel. It has remained engraved in my mind and body.”
Maria Fasce
The critics have said:
“A text that recalls the travel diary, the ethnographic chronicle, the family novel of the neurotic and the collection of poems or haikus, in a sort of digital experiment.”
Pablo E. Chacon, Telam (about Rusty bulldozers)
«Rusty bulldozers It is, above all, an example of the range that Leticia Martin’s writing covers, an example of how one can go from poetry to the driest prose without fear; of how one can jump from the classic story to science fiction, or to the essay, without too much history.
Valeria Iglesias, magazine Outsider
«Leticia is not ashamed and speaks of desire with beauty, precision and description, as only a man usually does. But she also speaks like a woman who is not afraid to express herself, she speaks of how that desire makes her live and how her ability to desire hurts her.»
