Spectator - Reviews

"Rachel Salazar's novel moves forward like startling sequences of film. In precise frames she choreographs a brilliant play-off of dalliance against passion, of spectatorship against the commitment of art."

-Maureen Howard

"Mara, the SPECTATOR of this economically assembled collage of sensuous episodes, places, & people, floats into & out of her marriage to a Mexican painter… like an opalescent mermaid. She is almost tragic in her separateness. Her story invokes the mood of a twilight journey in a glassbottom boat."

-Ursule Molinaro
