Críticas
?Like an urban poet, [Hijuelos] catalogues New York brilliantly...a fine and painful novel? Philadelphia Inquirer ?There is more than a touch of satire in Mr. Hijuelos? writing, but he never loses the syntax of magic...a loving and deeply felt tribute? New York Times ?A first novel about a Cuban family in new York City, told in an oblique, lyric voice, with an air of absolute authenticity and assurance? Joyce Carol Oates ?Brilliant, this first novel from Cuban New Yorker Hijuelos has a terrible raging power that lifts it clear of the usual sociological categories that semi-sutobiobraphical writing gets consigned to, and manages to hit that Nelson Algren note it which people?s failure in life becomes their personal poetry. I loved it? Time Out
Reseña del editor
America, the ?last world?, holds out many promises to the Santinio family from Cuba. For Alejo, the father, it means escape from the dreary farm of San Pedro and, perhaps, a business of his own. For Mercedes, his wife, America is the last of the material worlds. Still she has had other lives and will lives again, after her death. For the sons, Horacio and Hector, the ?last world? is not only New York, but also Cuba - a place of sensuous beauty, fragrance and ancestral memory. Filled with ghosts and the delicate presence of flowers, the sensuality of Cuban rhythms and the reality of Manhattan, Our House in the Last World is a work of beauty about people stranded between two cultures whose search for a better life remains unfulfilled.
