WINNER OF THE PREMIO HERRALDE 2019

“A gifted writer. Her work: tainted rivers, corrupted streets, spoled meat, slain children, deeply registers the horror of known commonplace. She writes her stories, based in the atmosphere of truth, with a darkly descriptive poetic turn."
Patti Smith
​
“Our Share of Night surpasses the conventions on the genre it adscribes to – admirably cultivated, bursting with imagination – in order to elevate itself to the category of the totalizing novel, open to major themes: the immensity of the relationship between a father and a son, the terrible ties of love and friendship, illness as life’s condition, the masks of the ritual, the atrocious truths of the gods, the hidden face of history and politics. This is both a dark and dazzling book.”     
Gonzalo Pontón Gijón, jury
 
“This novel is a saga and  a walk through the interior landscapes that we find in our best nightmares. This continues the tradition of what we could call ´The Great Latin American Novel´, belonging to a lineage of very different works that are just as ambitious and over the top, like Hopscotch, Paradise, One Hundred Years of Solitude or 2666.”                                    Juan Pablo Villalobos, jury

*​Premi Proa 2019*

“Your shadow hooks in readers from the first page to the last, taking them into an unstoppable narrative spiral. With a resolute and ironic style, the amorous adventures of two brothers in frenetic search of an identity end up shaping a novel that is above all a personal, sexual and generational exploration. In the Barcelona of Sónar and an England dominated by the indie music scene, the attractions and infidelities of both main characters, the familiar ecos of their stories and the parodies of their interpretations, shape the figures of an ingenious and thrilling caleidoscope. And the texts that are written, read and re-written make the reader enter a room of deformative and deformed mirrors, where nothing is as it seems and where not everything has a shadow."                   Xavier Pla,  jury

‘Paul B. Preciado has the magic ability to fire off imperatives that don’t feel bossy, but rather incite us to join him in whatever crackling energy, urgent curiosity, and dynamic nomadism is flowing through him. Reading these chronological missives offers the real pleasure of Preciado’s company in time, and inspires us not just to stay with our trouble, but to greet it with unstoppable speech, complex solidarity, glitter, and defiance."
Maggie Nelson

“Writing that is both threatening and precious. Some stories remind you of Pierre Menard and even of Cronenberg.”              
Nadal Suau, El Cultural

“Written with a clean and expressive prose, in a style that’s permeable to spoken language yet subject to a meticulous control over literary effects, these stories construct disturbing psychologies that dismount the order of what we call reality.”        
Domingo Ródenas de Moya,                El Cultural, Book of the Week

"A true feast of the imagination."
​J.A. Masoliver Ródenas, Cultura/s
