Review Quotes




"Like much of Mr. Bellatin's work, Beauty Salon is pithy, allegorical and profoundly disturbing, with a plot that evokes The Plague by Camus or Blindness by Jose Saramago."-New York Times

"What [the narrator] has given to [his patients], and Bellatin to us, is a model for dying, and for living; for treating the abject body with honesty and respect, despite its difference and decay-perhaps because of it."-Maggie Riggs, Words Without Borders

"Including a few details that may linger uncomfortably with the reader for a long time, this is contemporary naturalism as disturbing as it gets."-Booklist

"An unflinching allegory on death."-Publishers Weekly

"When this disquieting novella appeared, Mexican (and even Latin American) literature changed." -Francisco Goldman
