"""It is impossible to classify Andr�s Neuman: each of his books is a new language adventure, guided by the intelligence and the pleasure of words. He never ceases to surprise us and is, doubtlessly, one of the most daring writers in Latin American literature, willing to change, challenge and explore, always with a unique elegance.""--Mariana Enriquez, author of Things We Lost in the Fire ""The literature of the twenty-first century will belong to Neuman and a few of his blood brothers.""--Roberto Bola�o ""One of the things I love about Andr�s Neuman's work is how he restores writing as the most powerful source of knowledge. Fracture, this dazzling and devastating novel, is a terric demonstration of that.""--Alejandro Zambra, author of Ways of Going Home ""Traversing languages and cultures, decades and generations, Fracture unites its many fragments to form a powerful and redemptive vision of a single, and unbroken, human life. A searching, humane, and vital novel.""―Eleanor Catton, author of The Luminaries"
