I like this bit:


'The book's pervasive sense of doom is offset by a rich and playful prose 
that embodies its theme of multiple nations, cultures and languages, often 
shifting in a single sentence from English to Spanish, from Victorian 
formality to Negropolitan vernacular, from Homeric epithet to dirty 
bilingual insult.'
