"Paciencia Perdida does not make you lose your patience at all. Entering this kaleidoscope of contemporary Peruvian literature is an adventure and a risk. Lose yourself into this labyrinth and I am sure you will continue exploring our country's new voices. Like most Peruvians you will simultaneously enjoy and suffer as you start to identify with authentic life experiences from Peru."
-Alejandro Neyra, Peru's former Minister of Culture and author of Mi monstruo sagrado
"Paciencia Perdida is a true gift of a book that illuminates the wholeness and complexity of contemporary Peruvian literature. As part of the Peruvian English-speaking diaspora, I was entranced to read familiar voices and discover several new to me, and to feel, with each turn of the page, ever closer to home."
-Natalia Sylvester, author of Chasing the Sun and Breathe and Count Back From Ten
