"An expertly structured, morally complicated, and surprisingly timely blend of fact and fiction." -Kirkus
"Beguiling." -Publishers Weekly
"A wonderful book."" -Fiona Mozley , author of ELMET and HOT STEW
"The prose of Argentinian writer Martin Kohan, above all in the most recent books, conveys a clinical precision and cool distance. From one novel to another, however, the effects are different."" -Edmundo Paz Soldan , author of TURING'S DELIRIUM and NORTE
"Confession delves into Kohan's poetics in an agile and determined manner, preserving his affectionate distance from the intimate affairs of his characters, as well as his freedom vis-a-vis militant writing" -Latin American Literature Today
"A must-read." -Morning Star
"A stupendous novel." -El Pais
"One of Argentina's greatest living writers." -La gaceta literaria
"A fantastic writer whose texts question established ideas." -Letras Libres
"Kohan works with tradition and with the Borgesian idea of the traitor and the hero. He chooses three situations and explores them minutely." -La Nacion
"Kohan's novel understands and helps to understand; it delimits, records, pursues and reaches the most slippery crevices of history." -Letralia
"The end result is a fluid, disturbing novel, one that neither resorts to low blows nor commonplaces when it comes to the military regime and the disappeared, but puts its finger on that concept that still causes unease when spoken aloud: civilian complicity." -La primera piedra
"Hypnotic prose. A writer who owns a literary universe and a style all his own; a writer of unquestionable solidity." -El periodico
"Martin Kohan is becoming an obligatory name in Argentinian literature." -Pagina/12
"With a gift for totally natural dialogue, Kohan writes with an elegant lightness, paying great attention to rhythm. His specialty is the measured, exact word. Impeccable" -El Mundo
