In search of Klingsor

«In search of Klingsor is an ingenious literary journey into the world of science, cloaked within a spy thriller».

Alan Lightman, author of Einstein´s Dreams

«Jorge Volpi will be one of the stars of Spanish literature of this century».

Carlos Fuentes

«Every generation or so a writer comes along who liberates his peers from oppressive expectations of what Latin American fiction is supposed to be. Jorge Volpi´s In search of Klingsor woke everybody up! In Mexico City, where I was living, everybody (writers and readers, that is) wanted to talk about it: its breathtaking, suspenseful sweep, its intelligence and lack of pedantry and daring playfulness. Volpi tackles the subject of our universal relationship to Nazi Germany with freshness of vision and startling narrative gifts».

Francisco Goldman, Author of The ordinary seaman
